Still trying to get my head around what's happend. Such a tragedy. I remember Sarah's cheeky smile and the fact she was often the mastermind behind activities that had us in fits of laughter. I also remember her astute, sharp mind, and the determination that would come out when she believed in something . Such an incredibly painful loss. I send care and love to all Sarah's wonderful family as we navigate this journey of grief.

Sarah you were truly inspirational. Because of you our lives are not only filled with great memories of fun and laughter together, but will forever be richer. You lived your faith in ways that challenged me be a better person and remember my priorities, modelling how to love people as Jesus has called us to. You are already greatly missed, and will forever be in our hearts and memories.

We watched the livestream today. It was a wonderful tribute to Sarah - to her life, family and values. I remember Sarah fondly from her time as a student in Engineering Science and always knew she would make a huge difference in the world. I know she will leave a wonderful legacy. Rob and Jeannette, we’re both thinking of you as you and your family navigate the past week and the time ahead. Rest in peace, Sarah.

I knew of Sarah through her work at Windsor, but only met her once. Despite this, her death has had a profound impact on me. I think this speaks to the weight her presence carried and her incredible “mana”. She leaves behind an incredible legacy: a strong faith, an unwavering belief in the goodness of God, and the amazing organisation that is the Life Care Trust. It is on these things that she has built, that loved ones of Sarah will rely on in this time of grief. I feel honoured to be part of the Windsor Park community and to have Sarah’s legacy as an enduring example of what life in service of the Kingdom looks like. To the family and loved ones of Sarah, I am so sorry. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

18 March 2026

Sarah is one of the most intelligent and kindest people I've had the pleasure of knowing. Colleagues for over 8 years at Optima, Sarah left shortly before me to embark on more meaningful work with the church. My heartfelt condolences to Cam, Hannah, Max, and all those who were lucky enough to know her. xx

Sending lots of love from Australia. It was such an honour to be able to watch this beautiful service - you all managed to speak so eloquently, capturing the depth of her unique personality and I learned so much I didn't know about Sarah. She really was a force for good, how inspiring. Thank you.

Having met Sarah through MOP’s, Windsor Park Church services, CAP and Refresh, I knew this wonderful lady was special. She gave so much to the community. Sarah was astute, smart, witty, and wonderfully funny, with a smile that lit up every room. Charismatic and kind, she had a rare gift for making people feel at ease and deeply valued. You always felt a mutual respect and confidence when around her. Her love, laughter, and generosity will be forever cherished by all who knew her. Above all, Sarah was an awesome mum to Hannah and Max—loving, compassionate, and endlessly devoted. I’m sure her loss is felt deeply but her husband Cameron, children and family. Sarah’s spirit lives on in the love she gave, the lives she touched, and the memories that will continue to warm our hearts. I believe God had a higher purpose for her and sadly she left us far too early. My life and my Son’s life is better for having known her.

Sarah came into my life when I found myself in financial trouble. Sarah became my financial mentor . She had a compassion for people, which is rarely found . She was so kind , but firm ! She had understanding that not many people had when I found myself in that situation, she gave me hope! I will Always be grateful to her. And the work she did she will be sorely missed. My heart and prayers go out to her husband and her children, but also to her wider family, friends , church community and colleagues. Condolences and prayers to you all. Petra

So much love and deep respect for the life Sarah lived. She was always pouring into others and shining bright. I will treasure every special memory. From belly laughs at sleepovers, her impersonation of Kermit the frog, the chumba club we had in form 1, playing hockey together, fun camps & youth events to meaningful thought provoking discussion about faith and what was most important, every memory is full of so much happiness. She will be greatly missed by many because she touched and impacted so many lives for the better. Robert & Jeanette, thank you for raising an incredible woman. I am so sorry for your loss and our hearts break with you. To the whole family, our thoughts, love and prayers are with you. I’m sorry I am unable to be at the service in person but grateful to be able to be apart of it via the livestream.

In loving memory of Sarah, We always love seeing you and catching up. You have this way about you that makes everything feel easy and good. You are the kind of person people are drawn to and it’s no surprise how many people care about you so deeply. You give so much of yourself to others, without ever expecting anything in return. You carry such a positive, warm and loving energy and it is something really special to be around. We are so incredibly sad that you’re gone. Our hearts are broken for Cam, Hannah, Max and your family. We are thinking of you all and holding you close. The world has lost a truly lovely person way too soon. We love you, Sarah — always.

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

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.
