Love and deep sympathies to the family of Sarah Clark. I was very saddened to hear she went so soon in such tragic circumstances. Sarah was a lovely person. She was my colleague at Optima. May God be near to all who feel this loss, her whole family, her friends and the community at Windsor Park Baptist.

I am deeply saddened by this news of the tragedy, and the loss of Sarah. I cannot imagine the pain for everyone involved. Jeanette and Rob have been best friends of mine since our high school days. I have known about Sarah and her family since she was born, and Rob and Jeanette keep in contact even though I now live far away in Canada, on Vancouver Island. There are no words that can lessen the pain, especially for Cam, Hannah, Max, and Rob and Jeanette, but I am praying for you all daily. I hope the love you have for each other can sustain you all through this very difficult time, and my prayer is that God can hold you all, in love, and give you the strength to walk with each other as you try to find peace and meaning in the untimely death of Sarah. May you all feel God's love daily, and know that God's strength is with you wherever you are and wherever you go. Humbly and with love, grant

Oh Kirky. I remember a rainy weekend at the bach with the rest of the girls, just being present and laughing. I remember your endless graciousness and acceptance of people. Your genuine goodness stays with me forever and we’ll forever celebrate you. Much love to Cam, Hannah and Max, your beloved best gal pals and the family, community and people who you have impacted so richly. X

Sarah is one of the truly remarkable people I’ve ever worked with. She may be gone from this earth, but by God’s grace, and because Jesus died and rose again, she is now enjoying the gift of eternal life. No more pain, no more suffering - only the joy of receiving the reward of a life lived faithfully as God’s servant. I’m praying for peace and comfort for her family, her friends, her church, and all her loved ones who are grieving this loss. May the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit strengthen you in these moments of sadness.

We are heartbroken by the loss of the most incredible human being. Sarah, you were always a pillar of the Windsor Park community. Your kindness was everlasting, felt deeply not only by myself, Andrew, and our children, but by so many others whose lives you touched. It takes a truly remarkable person to leave such a lasting impact, and yours now reaches across all of Aotearoa. If everyone in the community cared as deeply and acted as selflessly as you did, the world would be a much better place for us all. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Cam, Hannah, and Max. We are so sorry for the far-too-early loss of such a courageous, kind, and steady woman. While nothing can replace Sarah, we hope you find strength in the many people surrounding you with love and comfort. Sending all our love from a distance. Caley, Andrew, Abigail, and Harrison.

Sarah came into our lives during a challenging time. She prayed for us and showed such care, no judgement,just love. I saw her last in December, and although I know she meets many families like ours,she remembered me by name. Forever grateful ❤️ My heartfelt prayers go out to her family and loved ones.
