I was thinking of her the other day not knowing she passed in 2011 . I met her in 93 after my son was born. He sort of became the mascot at St, Stephens Center at UNI. I Graduated UNI in 1990. We liked going to Mass on Campus as we did while in school. She we would fawn all over my son lol. When she sang she had the voice of an angel!!! When she was injured in a car accident that caused severe back pain we sent her a picture of our son in a tie and suspenders outfit giving a thumbs up. I’m saddened to learn of her passing but she brought so much joy!!!

I just found Sara, June of 2012. I have AS also, in much the same way she did, how I need her now. I hope where ever she is, that she knows, and her family knows, what she has done for me. She gave me a forum to pass on to my family and friends, that thoroughly explains, what I live with daily. How I wish she was still here. Her words are my words, her pain is mine, our losses, the same. I wish she could know what she has meant to me in these last few days. Thank you Sara.

I got to know Sara though her blog. Though, i do not know her personally, she touch my life in so many ways. she thought me to EMBRACE life rather than fighting it.In her post she wrote "I surrender. I simply trust that whatever is in front of me at any given moment, He is in the centre of it.." Thank you Sara.. You're an inspiration and I will miss you lots...Thank you for reminding me of the Joy around me.. Thank you for everything..xoxoxo

I just landed on Sara's blog about 2 months ago on one of my days of reading (In)Courage. Not sure how it all happened. I loved her writing. Her voice in writing made me feel like one of her friends. Warm, open, inviting, and real. We shared a great love for our fathers in life and death. She wrote "Having been loved by him is worth every moment of missing him" on one of her blogs. I thought I want to get there in my heart. Still not there. I'm so sorry for the loss you feel today and every day after. Sara was a gift to us. May God catch every tear, comfort every night's sleep and make every moment of missing Sara worth it because of the love you shared.

Steve, Patience and the entire Frankl family,
While I did not have the pleasure to meet Sara personally, working with Patience she spoke of Sara often. She was God's angel he shared here to inspire others. During this difficult time, may God and Sara both shine upon you.
My deepest sympathy,
Linda Reardon-Lowry

Frankl Family,
My heart goes out to you and all those individuals that discovered Sara's love and inspiration. I did not know Sara but have learned of her amazing works through her sister, Janette. Sara touched so many she must have been an extraordinary person and someone I would have liked to have known. My prayers are with you.

What a blessing it was to "know" Sara thru her Blog. Some problems seem so large until I remember Sara and "Choose Joy" and remember that God is always awake. May God continue to bless you thru the wonderful life of sweet Sara.

I read an article written by Sara on the In(courage) blog. At the bottom of her article was link to her blog. I had just found out I had an auto immune disease so was curious what she had to say. That was over 2 years ago and since that day I have read every blog she has written. She brought so much joy, even through pain. When I lost my sister 2 years ago it was reading her blog post late at night that got me through the pain. Sara was truly a gift from God to so many of us. I will never forget her. My prayers to all the Frankl family and friends.

Sara is gone to be with her Dads. She has taught me a lot and will continue to teach me. Let joy be your choice not hurt. Love ya Sara. I'll meet you one day.

Dear Frankl Family, I want to thank you for Sara. I came across her blog only a few weeks ago, but her words moved me immensely. Especially the line, "This life isn't about me, it's about Him." She has helped me a great deal by being an example of how we can always - always - CHOOSE JOY. And only this week I found out about Sara's link with the UNI and St. Stephen's, which I also attended in 2000/01, and that made me feel even closer to her. My prayers and gratitude are with you.

Dear Sara, I thank God for you and for everything you did for so many people. Be happy dancing and singing with Him forever!

Sara was a gift to me. I will always thank God for the many moments her words spoke directly to my heart. She was a true gift and I know she touched so many lives through her illness than God knew she could touch in her health. She leaves a legacy of faith and blessings. I praise God that she is pain-free and singing praise to our Lord forevermore!

Dear Frankl Family - I only knew of Sara during the last couple of weeks of her life, but she has uplifted my spirit just as she has so many others. I am working my way through her blog - such a great writer...I'm soaking up her inspiration like a sponge. I'm so grateful that she has touched my life and inspired my to "Choose Joy". I'm especially happy that Sara is free to dance and sing again. My thoughts and prayers for your peace and comfort are with you all. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt and friend with me. I wish I could have known her longer, but I will always remember Sara.

I am a mom of 5 lil' rascals from South Florida, touched by the joy of your Sara on her beautiful blog. The only other soul that has touched me like Sara, has been the story of the Little Flower,St. Therese of Lisieux. Like The Little Flower, Sara lived in her little ways a life of joy through suffering. She to me is a modern day saint. I pray this evening at my parish here in Davie, Florida, a prayer to your beautiful daughter and sister and loved one. She was not only beautiful inside but also outside. I hope she sends down a radiant shower of joy to our earth.

"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. "
Mother Teresa
Sara was a little pencil on her blog sending a love letter as well as joyful news to all her adoring fans.

May God comfort and give you peace during this sad time. May you know you are in my utmost and heartfelt prayers. {internet hugs} Jackie

Sitting here after the livefeed of the funeral -- celebrating Sara. Wiping away tears and smiling grateful and doing what she lived: Choosing Joy. I will carry Sara always, her ring that she sent, right now, always on my finger. Oh how we loved her and oh how she loved us, and oh how He loves us.

Simply -- God used her to change my life -- to look more like His.

I know no greater compliment.

Our humble sympathies and forever joy in Him...
Ann Voskamp

Dear Frankl Family and Friends,
Sara has changed me. I did not know her personally, only from her words. God is drawing me back to Him, partly through her. Thank you. God bless you all.

Dear Frankl Family, You have my deepest sympathies. Sara was one of my dearest friends for fifteen years. I have so many great memories, from singing with her to chasing bats from the Big House in college. I always wished that those who loved Sara could volunteer to take all of her pain away, that we could have split it among us, and each endured a splinter of it, so that it was no longer debilitating. And that pain that had so plagued her life, it would have been minimal, because there are truly hundreds, if not thousands of people that have known and loved Sara enough to endure a piece of the pain for her. I am still one of those people.

I was so deeply saddened and shocked to hear of your Sara's passing. I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today. I was in Janette's grade and cherish the memories of spending time after school at your farm before basketball games! I loved the swing in the big tree...Sara's writings have touched my heart and made me realize that I need to focus on the good each day! Beth (McGuire) Johnson

Jane & family -
Your beautiful daughter, sister, friend...made a lasting impression in so many people's lives. She is a true inspiration to everyone and we enjoy reading her work...I can't imagine how proud you are of her! Thinking of you with full hearts!

Sorry to hear of Saras passing. Audrey and Duane Larson

Sara's words have lifted my heart and changed my perspective more than she'll ever know.

Sara taught us by Choosing Joy through the pain. Choosing to live for Him in whatever situation he places us in. Living with purpose for Christ even if the world sees us as insignificant. Even if the world may cast us as useless.

She has done more in her confined to her condo life than I have in my ability to be out in the world. She has blessed others, prayed for others, lifted others up. She has written straight from the mouth of God, breathed life into a dead soul, and pulled selfishness out of the depths of our souls. She has shown us God's love.

This blogging thing connects hearts. Rarely does the physical ever meet, but the hearts meet every time a word travels deep into the soul. And for Sara who physical meeting would be too painful, this blogging thing was her main connection. She poured her heart into it, we all felt it and are better for it.

God knows we crave community. He created us for it. This blogging thing, one more way to allow distance not to stop heart connections. One more way to spread God's love and grace through our life experiences. One more way to hear and be heard.

She has been His hands and feet even when her hands and feet would not function. Sara's beauty is rare. She has given me more than she'll ever know in the last 6months I've followed her. A fellow Iowan. A fabulous writer for Him right in my backyard I am honored to know you even if only through words Sara.

I, too have an autoimmune disease and Sara has been a great inspiration to me in the short time I knew her through her blog. She was definitely an angel here on earth and she touched so many lives in such a positive way. She was definitely a positive example for all of us that suffer tremendous pain on a daily basis and she taught me to live my live to the fullest I could ever day. Rest peacefully sweet angel as you are with your loved ones that passed on before you and you are in such a beautiful place and no longer feel the pain...you are whole again. Thanks for sharing your life with me and others that suffer from chronic diseases and feel pain on a daily basis. Dance with the angels sweet Sara...be young and free again. One day we will meet face to face and oh what a joy that will be. You have taught me not to fear death but to look forward to it. Thank you for all you have taught me. Two words that will always stick with me "Choose Joy." So well spoken by an angel here on earth. Rest peacefully angel and thank you for all you have given to me.

Sara was a dear friend and an inspiration. I am so blessed to have been her friend and neighbor for so many years. She was the most positive person and had the most faith of anyone I've ever met. She always had a smile and sparkle in her eye, despite how much pain she would be in on a given day. She always asked me about my life and my day and was genuinely interested. Sara was the most unselfish and kind person I know. Sending love, hugs and prayers to Sara's family and to Riley.

Sweet Sara was, and will ALWAYS be, such an INSPIRATION to SO many people. Her amazing and truly INCREDIBLE outlook on life is something we all admire more than you will EVER know. She has been a friend, sister-in-Christ, and ray of light to me more times than I can count. I will treasure her in my heart FOREVER. She will always be considered a dear friend! I will also continue to treasure my very special canvas that is proudly displayed in my house each and every day! In fact, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at it and think of Sara...with a great big SMILE!

A JOY! A GIFT! A BLESSING!!

Sara was and IS each of those and SO many MORE! Praying for ALL of you during this time. May you feel His arms wrapped tightly around you.

Sara's voice resonates deeper than I ever thought. I re-read some emails earlier this week and her wisdom, her humor, ohmyword her humor, and her diligence in making sure I was okay. Not her or Riley; but me. I will always love her and hold her close.

I will forever look at problems as "stepping stones" and always think of Sara with joy. Blessings and comfort to you all,
karen:)

Sara and I lived together in The Big House and had more laughs together than I could possibly count. She had a way of making someone feel like they were the most important person in the world. Sara was a wonderful listener and a trusted confidante to many. She always knew just what to say. I will miss Sara very much but I feel comforted knowing that she will be watching over all of us. Jane and family, you have my deepest condolences. Sara was truly one of a kind!

As a reader of Sara's blog I was often reminded of what was really important. Having never met her I can't say I knew her, but I do know that she was a part of the lives of so many who read her blog, and we certainly felt as if we "knew" her, and she was our friend. May your memories bring you great joy.

Although we never met, Sara was a tremendous encourager to me. I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, and have had many days when Sara's strength gave me the courage to get out of bed and face my day. I am forever grateful to her for her honesty, wit and courage.

dear jane and family...our prayers and thoughts are with you-God bless you all
bill and jeanne brown

I doubt that Sara realized that when she decided to "Choose Joy"...that she was going to actually become that "Joy" for so many of us. Her light will continue to shine and her words of wisdom, wit and hope will be carried forward to countless souls...as those of us who were blessed to be welcomed into her world & her heart share her message each and every day... with the "intention" that she spoke of .. . Thank you Sara for being so willing to be such a beautiful example of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You will forever be in my heart.

I share this in the hopes that it might bring you some small comfort. I did not learn of Sara's blog until after she had passed away, and have spent the past few days reading her words and getting to "know" her. I have been impacted by her life and her death. Her faith has spoken loudly, and will clearly continue to do so long after she is gone. I thank you for sharing Sara with all of us, and I have been praying for your family as you miss her.

I did not know Sara very well. However, my few encounters with her showed what a wonderful spirit she had. My deepest sympathy goes to the entire Frankl family.

Sara was a blessing to me in so many ways. She was one of the most upbeat, encouraging, and courageous people I have ever known. I never met her but came to know her through her blog and also by tweeting with her. I looked forward to reading her words of wisdom and always felt uplifted by the pictures she shared. She taught me to enjoy life and no matter what to look for things to be grateful for. I will miss her spirit. She was a caring, loving, beautiful woman who lived life to the fullest. She was an inspiration to me and I was amazed at her ability to Choose Joy. I feel blessed to have known her. Thank you Sara for being such a shining example of God's love and how we are to live. I will miss you greatly. My prayers and deepest sympathies to her family. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Sara with the world.

Sara was my soul's sister, my heart's friend and my mind's joy. We've never met, yet she encouraged me through the worst moments of my illness with sass and sincerity. The fact that she hid herself in the Rock of Ages was obvious; she found grace in His love.
You have flown to your home, sweet Sara. You ran the good race, lifted us who lay discouraged, broken by the wayside and now, we run choosing joy.
"While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee."

The one thing I do know about Sara is she never let an opportunity go by without using it to help others. I so often tried to do things FOR her but she always turned it into something she could do FOR others. She always thought of others above herself. I am ever so thankful to have met her online in 2008. There has never been anyone to inspire me and cause me to look at life in a different way, and I fear there never will be again. Her and Riley have been a bright spot in my days more than I can count. She not only brought so much hope and joy to others....she was JOY by the very definition of the word. Sara has owned a piece of my heart that will always belong to her and her alone. I will miss you Sara girl....so very much!

I only 'knew' Sara for a short time, but that was enough time to know what a very special person she is. Even though confined in her very small world these last few years, she lived 'large'! I have never known anyone who had a heart like hers, wisdom beyond her years, and unquenchable joy. She is a living prayer! I hardly knew her and already miss her. I cannot imagine how much she will be missed by her family and personal friends in addition to her blogging friends and readers. We are all made better from knowing her. Thoughts and prayers for you as you go through these next fews days honoring and celebrating sweet Sara, and for the remainder of your lives until you meet again in the heavenly realms! God blessings upon all. Choose joy!

I started following Sara's blog three or four months ago. She was my breath of fresh air every morning over breakfast. How can you come to love someone you've never met? Sara thank you for teaching me joy is a choice, an action on our part. It is not something that happens to us. Selfishly I will miss your voice in my life. But I KNOW you are free and comfortable at last.

I didn't know Sara personally but she made a big impact on my life thru her blog. She really loved the Lord - what a testament to God's greatness. We are so blessed to have had her in our lives.

Sara, I came across your blog a couple of years ago after I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. You and Riley have blessed my life, give and continue to give me the strength to fight the pain, to turn my lemons into lemonade, & dance in the rain.
You will be greatly missed, my your family and friends be surrounded by your spirit. I am glad you are dancing! Love you, Karen & my littleboy Riley 2yrs.

Sara, you will always own a part of my heart. You made heaven a real place for me. I love you forever. -Your Fred

A Living Prayer.
In her blog on Nov 11, 2009, Sara described what she thought was a Living Prayer. She ended the post with "I want to be a living prayer" The effect of her life, as evident by the many comments that have been pouring in, sure fits her description.
Sara was, is, a Living Prayer!

There were many things about Sara which were admirable. Of those multitude of exemplary qualities, though, were two things....how she held all things having to do with God as Holy & sacred, and how she unceasingly exercised the virtue of humility. Please accept Dave's & my heartfelt expression of shared sorrow over the loss of your daughter/sister(-in-law)/niece/aunt/cousin/friend.

Our deepest sympathy to your family for the passing of Sara. She was an angel on earth and now an angel in spirit.

Sara did more in her time, confined to her home, than I have done in my whole time so far on earth. Where I wanted to bury my head in the sand and try to forget what was going on around me, she gently nudged and told me to stay alert and to choose joy over fear. I will miss her wisdom and guidance muchly, though I know that the piece she claimed of my heart will remain hers forever. Dance freely now Sara, fly high and soar among the angels as you were always meant to do. With love always, xxxx

I came across Sara's blogs this year and came to love her as if we had been friends for a lifetime. I couldn't wait to see "Gitz" in my inbox and see the pictures that Sara would send so we could be a part of her world. Sara shared her gift of faith and the love she shared with so many. I am so very sad to lose her and I can only imagine how her family feels when so many of us loved her from our computers! I miss her already and will miss her heart-felt blogs. The family is in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength you need to get through this loss but also give you the knowledge that Sara is with her Dad in Heaven. Can't you just see them smiling and hugging each other? God Bless all who were a part of Sara's life. May God bless Riley too.
Susan - Jacksonville, FL

Although we only met online, Sara has my heart and will forever be remembered for her inspiration, love and joy that she so freely shared with others. Her never ending love of our God has earned her a very special place with him in heaven. My grief over losing her here on earth is greatly lessened by the fact that she will be looking over so many from above. You are so loved, Sara. My thoughts and prayers are with Sara's family including Riley.

I have only known Sara online. Her smile, words and voice could reach out any distance to touch our hearts and inspire us to live as she did, to always to choose joy.

We use to tweet chat during football season, to cheer on the NI Panthers. I can picture Gitz , now rejoined with her earthly father, Mike, cheering on the Panthers from on high.

I will miss her very much, but remember to always choose joy as she taught me.

Jane and family...I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Though I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Sara I have heard so much about her. I wish I could be with you and your family during this time but know that I am with you in my thoughts and prayers.

Love

Dearest family of Sara. I am heartbroken, and to think I only knew her a little more than a year. Your sorrow must be crushing. I want you to know that I thank our God for her and her life. What a blessing she was to many. She always strived to be a valuable, contributing member to her family, friends, and co-bloggers. God blessed us with her life. Thank you for sharing your life with me Sara. My life will be different because of you. You made a difference. My sincerest sympathiles to the family. May God, Sara, and Frank watch over you.

Sara, thank you for your beautiful witness. Now it is time for you to help all of us get to Heaven! It seems a paradox that at Baptism we celebrate dying to this world but at funerals, we celebrate rising to new life. But that fullness of life came at a cost. Jesus died on the cross and purchased for us a share in the fullness of life. Jesus’ death brought life to the world. This is the paradox of the cross and the resurrection. We cannot experience the fullness of life in the resurrection, if we are not willing to embrace the suffering of the cross. Sara willingly carried her cross of suffering and now we too are suffering the death of Sara. We sit here and mourn the death of Sara yet, we know that death is not the end. Sara has given us something that we can treasure until we see her again. That treasure is love.
"Love is something that never dies. No one can ever take love away from us. Death might rob us of the physical presence of the person. Death might make us unable to see her, to touch her or to speak with her. But, death can never rob us of the love we have for that person. Love survives death. That is a truth that we know in our hearts.
Sara pray for us! God bless the Frankl Family!

I also just met Sara about a month before she passed. Oh, how I wish I had known her earlier. I too have been isolated in my home over the past two years due to foot surgery that went wrong. Walking just around the house on crutches or using the wheelchair has been so difficult. I wish I could say that I had her attitude and disposition. After reading her blogs and seeing life through her eyes, I am determined to live life as Sara did. I am praying for you. Thank you for sharing Sara with so many people. May God bless your family with peace and comfort as only HE can.

i found sara's blog just a few days before she passed. she was a remarkable person, please accept my sincere condolences.

I never got to meet Sara, but felt that she was my best friend in the whole world. She was a lady of strong Faith and Love. I know what she is now breating deeply, twirling and dancing with her Dad. You are greatly missed her, and can hardly wait to see you in Heaven. God Bless and Love,
Amy Fox - Springfield, MO

I along with many others did not personally know Sara, but through her blog I feel like I knew her and her zest for life and now in the arms of her loving God, she is home and out of pain...thoughts to her Mom and all the family at this time...she was a very special person

When I met Sara I thought I'd love on her like I do my own grow-up daughters...and I tried to do that. But very quickly it was obvious that Sara was a nurturer. She never ceased to reach out and share in my little life. I felt a connection to Sara that I consider one of the most precious blessings of my entire life.
I will continue to keep her family in my prayers and will aspire to live the way Sara lived...

I regret that I never met Sara in 'real life". However, her words, her spirit, her determination and her courage touched my life and heart. She has left a legacy that wil continue to thrive and live. There are many of us who will choose joy b/c of Sara's influence. I'm happy for Sara that she is now in the presence of our Father but my heart aches for her family and those of us who loved her.

I only knew Sara through reading her blog, but her choice to choose joy no matter what obstacles she faced in her earthly life has been an inspiration to me. I know she is twirling, dancing, running, and breathing deeply in the sweet air of Heaven. So thankful that she shared her life with us. Her beautiful heart and her words will be missed.

I did not meet Sara in this life, but I rejoice that she was brave enough to step into the next life without fear. She truely touched many lives, as well as mine. Thank you for sharing her life with me. May God continue to wrap his arms around all of you in the days and weeks to come.

I didn't know Sara "in real life" but oh how she touched my heart with her blog. She has been such an inspiration to me and to so many others. My prayers go out to the whole family for your loss but I celebrate that she is reunited with both her Heavenly Father and the one she was blessed to have on this earth.
Much love,
Julie (Hershey, PA)

Like many others, I never met Sara in person. I will miss her encouraging words, funny stories and her energy. I will miss getting her Christmas card in the mail (often the first one). She leaves an amazing testimony that will continue to glorify God. She is truly an inspiration to all. Until we see you again Sara....well done :)

Sara was one of the most joy filled women I have ever known. It was simply amazing to stop by her blog, and peek into her world for a bit and read her words - which over and over inspired others to choose joy in all things.

Her words will be missed, but I do pray that we all continue to choose joy - to honor Sara.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Sara in real life, but she touched me forever via her blog, which I began reading earlier this year. My name is also Sarah, but I add an h to the end. The gracious way Sara lived her life, the way she chose joy and chose to see what most of us (myself included) would have considered her very hard life as a blessing just completely inspired and encouraged me. Her writing is beautiful and my heart has forever been changed. I hope somehow you can preserve her writings so she can continue to speak to millions from the beauty of her soul. Many condolences to the family, you have certainly lost a ray of sunshine. May God comfort you as only He can.

I will miss Sara's beautuful spirit and faith. She has been an inspiration beyond words for my forever.

I only know Sara from her blog but her life impacted mine in such a HUGE WAY! I am typing this through tears of what a BEAUTIFUL LIFE she lived in Joy! She was such an inspiration to me to live my life fully...I was diagnosed with MD only a year ago! As I deal with this debilitating disease I look at what an example she left behind for me to follow! I CHOOSE JOY! I will miss her so much! My deepest thought and prayers are with the family during this time! God bless yall!

Sara was a consistent help to me during some very difficult days in my life. Her comments spoke truth, but most especially, her posts taught me how to praise through suffering. She reached out and spoke beautiful, uplifting, encouraging words to me, taking time to email and pray. I am so thankful she is in the presence of The Love of Her Life -- Jesus Christ. It is comforting to know she is pain-free and singing to her heart's content. Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to be blessed by her life...

Every time I read Sara's blog I was encouraged. If she could keep her joy and excitement for life with all her setbacks then I could face my life and situation with courage and joy. I always felt like she was a friend even though I did not personally know her. I will greatly miss her although I know she is in perfect health and joy right now. I'll meet her one day and I know we will share a great big hug. My prayers are with her family and friends and her little love Rylie.

I only knew Sara from her blog. What an amazing person she was. Hugs and sympathy to her family.

I did not know Sara personally. I knew her through her body of work online, through the writings of others her life touched, and through the many photos of her which brought her to "life." Though I did not know her personally, I have been touched by her--her courage, her story and her tenacious grip on joy in the midst of the life that was both divinely precious and painfully rigorous for her. My deepest condolences to you, her family, her friends and those who mourn personally at her loss. I know she has challenged me to take God literally when he speaks to "Count it as pure joy"...whatever our circumstance. My life has been made richer by her and I am so thankful for her. May God bring you comfort at this time. With sincere sympathies.

Jane and family, what an amazing daughter and sister,cousin and niece God has put in your lives... Always hard losing someone so SUPER special and just a child. I pray for you all during this difficult time. God's blessings to you and your family.

It has been a joy to know Sara. Her faith and her love could not be contained by four walls. She was the embodiment of "Joy in all circumstances". We will love and miss her always.

Sara inspired me by her breath of life she shared with many. She healed my heart with her hands on keyboard - extending herself beyond her home into hearts. And I am thankful for her life and her gift of friendship and honest sharing. It will be cherished.

Sara has been an inspiration to me for this past year as I followed her blog. Her strength, courage and unwavering love of the Lord has taught me so much. I will be ever grateful to her for all she brought to my life. I am sad but I know Sara is with our Lord and in her new body will be laughing, dancing and rejoicing. I also know that Jesus welcomed her with openarms saying "well done my good and faithful servant". Sara, you will be missed a whope lot but I will carry your words with me always in my heart " CHOOSE JOY " I never met you Sara bit I LOVE YOU !

we are praying for Sara's family and friends...O Heavenly Father, We ask you to wrap Your Loving Arms around Sara’s family and friends. You are Jehovah Jireh, our provider, You are El Shaddai, our all-sufficient Heavenly Father, our Abba Daddy, You are everything we need. You are close to the brokenhearted and You save those who are crushed in spirit. Lord Jesus, help them to experience Your peace and sense Your presence in their lives. We know You respond to our sighs, our tears and our murmurs. We know You are near to all who call upon You; so near that You can feel breath when no voice can be heard for faintness. You are our Shepherd, we lack nothing. You make us lie down in green pastures, You lead us beside the still waters. You restore our souls. You lead us in the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for You are with us. You are Emmanuel, God with us. Your rod and Your Staff, your Holy Spirit and Your Word, they comfort us. You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. You anoint our heads with oil, overflowing with blessings. Surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

I have been following Sara's blog for the past year. In that time she taught me more spiritual truths than I had ever learned before. Her life always glorified the Lord and will continue to do so for all eternity!

I am sad but very happy that Sara Frankl is no longer in pain. She can now dance and sing in heaven. She was so positive even in pain and praising God. I will try to do my homework without complaining. I am glad that you liked the funky fairy that I sent

We never met, but from halfway around the world Sara taught me and inspires me to Choose Joy. I am blessed to have had the chance to "meet her" through her beautiful and frank sharing. Thank you Sara. I look forward to meeting in heaven.

Sara has made a huge impact in my life in such a small amount of time. I will never forget her. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

Sara will forever be the single most biggest influence on my life. Her wisdom, her grace and her joy have forever shaped the way I look at life and the world. I will always value our friendship, how she loved me, and how she adored my daughter, Cora. (I will always smile when I remember how excited Sara was the day she was born).

I will love her forever and always, and miss her every day until my own Home going. Frankl family, thank you for sharing your precious Sara with us.

Although I did not know Lisa very well, the other tributes speak of her in a way that I do realize what her life and contributions meant to so many. My thoughts and prayers go out the the family, friends. She must have been a very remarkable woman. May she now rest in Eternal Peace.

In just a few weeks, Sara and her testimony touched me, changed me. I will never be the same. I'm passing on her story too. As I keep saying, Sara has many stars in her crown!

Lots of love and prayers for Sara's family and friends.
God bless

I am not sure I have ever known someone who lived their faith in such a genuine, authentic way. Anyone who knew Sara, either in person or via the internet, could not doubt her commitment to the Lord, her family, or her friends. I stumbled across her blog shortly after she began writing it, and her words blessed and will continue to bless me. I am grateful for the gift that is Sara and the legacy she leaves behind while she waits for the rest of us to join her in heaven. I love you, Sara! (And Riley, too!)

mmmm, my super long favorites of Sara got eaten when I also decided to post a picture.... I hope there is a way of retrieving it even for just her family. I don't think I could recreate it right now.... xoxo

I could never express the PROFOUND inspiration she was to me. I am old enough to be her Mother but she guided me through her words, spirit and heart as big as she was tiny! Her courage and love was amazing. I will NEVER forget her. I miss her terribly already and never actually met her in person. I am so glad she is at peace a FREE of pain.
