I was so sorry to hear the news today about Sarah. My thoughts & prayers are with her family & friends. She was a very talented woman and will be sorely missed by all that knew her, I'm sure.

We were heart broken in Squamish, Whistler and Vancouver today. There was a moment of silence for her at BC Place before the Canada Haiti soccer game. It was nice.

Canada is mourning the loss of a great athlete and you are mourning the loss of a close friend. Our thoughts are with you.

This is so well-said, don't think I can do better than that. Was difficult to hear the news, so much more so for you as her friend.

I was saddened to hear the news of Sarah's death. Although I am not, in general, a sports fan I have a tremendous admiration for our athletes. So many of them do so much for our society beyond their sport, we should cherish and support them while they are still with us! It sounds like Sarah was just such an athlete; and I know that this is a tremendous loss to her family, friends, fans and sport. However it is apparent that she has done a tremendous amount of good in this world and we can be thankful for that. My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to you and her family.

I didn't know Sarah too well. We didn't have any classes together and I think she was a grade below me (but graduated the same year...back in the days with OAC!). It is still very sad. In the few times that I had spoken with her in school, she was very friendly to me. She really was an amazing girl.
