Sara was everything her clients could have asked for in a property manager, but more importantly, a wonderful person. She took a genuine interest in the lives of those she worked with and I’ll always fondly remember catching up with her on our property calls and site visits and hearing all about her recent adventures or what race she was running next.
Sara will be dearly missed.
You will be missed. Beautiful person from the inside out. So so sorry for your loss Jonathan. I know you made her very happy and her best years were with you!!!❤️🙏🏼😢
Sara was a person I admired enormously. She had a genuine concern for others and dedication to help. We had the opportunity to work together in many projects, including many events for charities she supported. Her professionalism & work ethics will remain as an example for all of us who knew her.
We will miss you 🙏
Sara was such a remarkable human being and her love for Christ and her gift for comforting others that attended our Real Estate Lives REBuilders Luncheon Meetings was incredible. It was as though she knew each one’s heart in the room and fed it with her sweet kindness. We will miss Sara at Real Estate Lives but know she is pain free and Free at last.
Sara always looked at the bright side of things. No matter how much everyone would overreact she would take the issue in stride and just deal. We will miss her leadership and her friendship. I was blessed to work with her.
It is so hard to believe you are gone. Gone, but not forgotten. Your body is renewed and your soul is with our Savior. We love you, Sara.
Sara was always smiling and a positive person during races. I meet her through running. You will be missed by many. RIP my sweet friend.
I cant believe I wont get to see your smiling face again :( you were always so giving ! I will never forget you ran for my brother when he passed away 26.2 with us at Disney ! I will always run for you & my Brother !! RIP sweet Sara xx
Jonathan – I’m truly sorry for your loss. So very difficult. I only met Sara personally one time – but worked with her remotely for about 2 years. Any time I had an issue or needed any guidance – she was right there, always happy to help me. You could hear the commitment and ‘happy to help’ in her voice and emails. She is a co-worker that will be missed by me and many others. Rest in Peace Sara.
Very sorry for your loss, Jon. Cathy and I didn’t know Sara. But we offer to you and Sara’s family our best wishes. Godspeed and RIP to Sara.
I’ve known Sara a long time. My friendship with Sara was very special to me. She always showed love, kindness, was supportive, and encouraging to all those around her. She was a loving wife, daughter, godmother, mentor, friend, and believer in our Lord. When we were together we always laughed and had so much fun drinking good coffee, running oh so many road races, travelling together, and just spending time together talking and catching up. Sara was the sister I always wanted and I’m so honored and blessed to have known her and to have been a part of her life. I will truly miss my best friend. I love you forever Sara.
Dear Jon,
So sorry to hear about your wife. We wish we could be there but I have appointment with my Cardiologist, I have been real sick since the last time we saw you. If there is anything we can do to help you please call, even if it’s just to talk.
I had the pleasure of working with Sara when she had her first date with Jonathan. She was so excited that Monday and we teased her that this might be “the one”. As everyone knows that story has a happy ending.
She was a beautiful person, inside and out, and I am glad to call her my friend.
Jonathan, you made her happy and you both were blessed to have found each other.
I found this message that Sara left when another beautiful person went home to the lord.

Memories in the Heart
Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart
I attended my first REL meeting in 2009 thinking to myself, what am I here for. Sara allowed me to fall apart & be comfortable as a male doing so. Her smile lit up a room & her faith in Jesus Christ was so strong. The Bible says, in EVERYTHING give thanks. So I thank the Lord for sharing her with us & for him strategically placing her in my life at a much needed time. May the joy of the Lord be a comfort to her family & friends at this time 🙏
Having just learned of Sara’s passing I want to let you know how sorry we are for your loss. I know we are only neighbors but if there is anything we can do to help you we will. Praying God gives you the strength you need🙏🙏🙏
So sorry to hear of Sara’s passing she was my sister in law when she was married to her first husband Joe I have known her for 33years she was in my wedding when I married Joe’s brother Duane my husband and I lived with Sara for about 4years and we had a blast with her rest in peace Sara you are now with your beloved dad Pete
Words can not explain how saddened I am at finding out that Sara has passed on. I was Sara’s hairdresser in Orlando for many years and even for a few when she first moved to the Tampa area, she was such an amazing person with such a beautiful soul. I just had one of my clients ask me if I knew of anyone in the Tampa area that would need a job in the property management field and Sat immediately came to my mind so when I started looking for her I found out that she had passed, I am totally saddened at this news. Jon you have my deepest condolences.
