Dear Friends,
On Saturday the 10th of February at 1:22 PM the Lord released Saucy from her
unbelievable pain and brought her home.
Saucy had been in hospice for two weeks and suffered greatly. Ardeth and I were
able to spend a week with her and give her all our love and comfort. For that
opportunity we are truly grateful.
Her suffering was so great that not even massive doses of methadone, morphine
and several other drugs could assuage the pain. Her Mom, Bobbi, had been
spending all her time with Saucy for the past 8 months and deserves as many
blessings as possible. There is no way Saucy could have existed for any period
of time without her mother's loving support and care.
There is no reason to tell you what Saucy had been going through and what the
end was like but understand that all her pain and suffering has now ended. The
staff at the hospice was wonderful and caring and tried with everything within
their power to make her last days as comfortable as possible.
The rest of us have lost one of the bravest, kindest and most loving people the
Creator has allowed to share her time with us. Sara Lyn Grace touched tens of
thousands of lives the world over and brought hope and faith to all who knew her
and heard her story.
Saucy leaves behind her beloved daughter Cara Jean, her two brothers, Todd and
Bruce, and other members of her immediate and extended family.
It is not possible to describe the tremendous loss I feel. Saucy, besides being
my darling daughter, was my hero and associate in almost everything I have done.
Although she will forever be within my heart, mind and being, the void is
something that can never be filled. I hope and pray that she will continue to be
an inspiration and example to everyone who learns about her.
