Sarah
​2007 - 2021

We end the weekend with sad news…  Our 2009 alumna Sarah Lular Belle, affectionately called Lular by her mom Tiffany, passed away last week with her parents Tiffany and Blake by her side.  Sarah was fostered, then loved forever by Tiffany and Blake and it was a match made in heaven.  When they picked her up, our volunteer Missy handed them a pink pillow with the word “Princess” monogrammed on it. And Missy said “Sarah can’t go anywhere without this princess pillow because this girl is a diva.”
From Tiffany:  “Missy wasn't wrong. Sarah was independent and opinionated from the very beginning. She chose what she wanted and when she wanted it. But she could give love with the best of them - on her terms. In the last year, Sarah was diagnosed with kidney disease and general neurological issues that made it difficult for her to walk. She kept up her joy for life until last week when she didn't really want to eat anymore. We could only get her to eat McDonald's nuggets in the last few days but she did that with the usual gusto that she had for life. Her favorite things were laying in the sunshine and peeing on Oliver's pee. In the last few years, she and Oliver developed the most perfect old married couple relationship. They couldn't be away from each other but he irritated her so much. While he walked around the yard peeing on everything, she followed and peed on it too. Sarah truly was one of a kind and our life is less bright without her in it. She left this world laying in the sunshine in her backyard surrounded by her mommy and daddy who loved her unconditionally. Sarah knew love and she gave love. We all miss her already.”
“So, though I give you all my heart, the time will come when we must part. But all around you, you will see, creatures that speak to you of me; a tired horse, a hunted thing, a sparrow with a broken wing. Pity – and help (I know you will) and somehow, I will be with you still; and I shall know, although I’m gone, the love I gave you lingers on.” Unknown
