We are sad for you all-it is so unfair and mysterious why Sarah only had 30 years here-makes no sense. I hope you find comfort in the days ahead with God. Expect your heart to break over and over with her absence-allow that...just give it all to God-your anger, tears, pain and sadness...God loves that. We love u all-

Susie Venters Saturday April 3, 2010 at 12:16 PM

I met Sarah when we worked together at the theatres for years -she had quickly become a friend and confidante that I will always hold dear. She humbled me daily with her faith and sweetness. We hadn't seen each other lately but I thought of her and prayed for her often. I know she is at peace now and in the best place. I will love her always.

Kim & Gary Casey kwcasey1@gmail.com Thursday April 1, 2010 at 4:57 PM

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for several years at the theatres. She was an amazing girl. We became close very fast and I loved her very much. We have lost a true Angel. I am in Las Vegas until next week, but please know that my heart and prayers are with you. May your memories of this precious girl give you strength at this difficult time.

Sarah McSweeney Thursday April 1, 2010 at 2:46 PM
Mark, Katheleen and family- I am so sorry to hear about Sarah. I hadn't seen her in a long time, but I always remember her smile, her positive attitue and the way she laughed. These things along with her concrete faith in God allowed her to impact so many lives. Sarah was just a great girl. Your family will be in my prayers. Sarah McSweeney

Martha Hanshaw Pumphrey Thursday April 1, 2010 at 2:10 PM
There aren't enough words spoken to speak the grace that Sarah Beth potrayed every day of her life. She was a woman of grace, faith, love and above all a friend that I cared so deeply for. I have never in my life met a woman more in tune with God and her faith as she was. She drew me closer to him, and made me believe in the love and life he can give you. I love her beyond endless measure, and I truly understand the grief you are going through. I hope and pray God is guiding you with comfort knowing that he is cradling Sarah in his arms for eternity. Love you all Napiers and Creasy's, and her best friends that miss her so.

Lauren Short Thursday April 1, 2010 at 1:47 PM
Mr. and Mrs. Napier, Jeremy, and Jason: I have such great memories with Sarah - playing softball with her and cheering with her... When I think of her, I see her sitting beside me in the dug out, smiling that wonderful smile of hers, and cheering "there was a little doggie, sittin' on a fence..." She was a wonderful friend and was always so positive and encouraging. I will never forget her in the story of my life. She has touched so many lives with her love for God and reading her online journal has given me a closer relationship to Him as well. You are all in my prayers.

Alison Machmer Labudzki Thursday April 1, 2010 at 1:34 PM
I met Sarah while serving at Daybreak Ministries. She always struck me as a bright light and her extraordinary love for the Lord inspired so many who were fortunate enough to know her.

Rusty & Carla Westcott Thursday April 1, 2010 at 12:49 PM
Mark & Kathleen; So very sorry to read of your loss. Sarah fought the "good fight"! I am in no way sure that I could have endured what that child did for as long as she did it. She showed tremendous courage and faith. Please know that your friends will be thinking about you and as I am sure you did and do, please know she is in a better place free of the human pain. Rusty & Carla Westcott

I came to know Sarah's story through a friend in Total Praise. Sarah was definitly a light on the hillside. I pray that through her memory that light will continue to shine. I pray that all of her family and friends continue to draw on the strength that Sarah was able to have in Jesus Christ.

Brenda Johnson brenda.johnson@kdmc.net Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 8:45 PM

Sharon (Carpenter) Black Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 8:45 PM
Wow, what a battle she has put through. Knowing her for the years I did, she was such a beautiful person inside and out. Just to know she isn't suffering any longer and the testimony she has left behind is worth the peace. I'm sorry I'm out of town and won't be in to attend services, but please know my thoughts are with you and the family Kathleen. You have been through alot too. Just keep your head held high and know you have done your best. Love always and prayers.

Haley Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 8:40 PM
Sarah Beth was an encouragement to all. She was a friend of my cousin, Erin, who also battled cancer. Sarah Beth had such an uplifting spirit and even though I never saw her very often, she always had the brightest smile on her face, knowing that God was in control of her life, no matter what laid ahead for her. Sarah Beth will be greatly missed by my family!

David and Lisa Matovich Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 7:54 PM
Mark, Kathleen, and family We will never forget Sarah's beautiful smile and her caring heart.

Eliot Parker parker25@mctc.edu Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 6:50 PM
I was a classmate of Sarah's in the College of Education at Marshall. In many of our education classes, we were placed in assigned seats, in alphabetical order. Sarah and I often times sat close to one another. She always had s smile and a kind word to say about everything. Many times, when I was having a bad day, her smile and plesant attitude made my day so much better. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Lisa Ledbetter Shuler Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 6:47 PM
Kathleen, Please know you & your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Iknow you will keep the memories of your daughter close in your heart and cherish them.

Helen Lue Frye (friend of Christina Creasy) hlnfrye@yahoo.com Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 5:14 PM
To the family and friends of Sarah Beth Napier: My heart goes out to each of you at this difficult time of loss. Even though there is reason to rejoice, since Sarah is now in heaven, free from pain, and has secured her eternal reward; it is also a time of great sadness for those left behind. I have followed Sarah's courageous story through my dear friend, Christina Creasy, and consequently; I feel as though I know Sarah on a personal level. It was Christinas great love and respect for Sara that touched my heart...and it was evident that Sarahs faith carried her through the difficult times. It is so rare for someone to remain as steadfast as Sarah did under similar circumstances. However, Christina shared with me Sarahs deep love and fervent desire to please God helped her to remain strong. Her story is truly moving and extremely humbling. Each time Christina would remind me that Sarah's faith gave her courage to face each day with grace, hope, and Christian love. To me, her life was a testimony to each of us as well as a reminder to cherish every moment, appreciate the gifts we often take for granted, and to love God with all your might--every step of the way. I thank God that I knew of Sarah, even indirectly. I pray that the Lord will help Sarah's loved ones to endure and that we all remember that one day, He will wipe away every tear and there shall be no more dying. May God bless...Helen Lue Frye

Allie Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Sarahs story is such an inspiration. I have been reading the website and what a great testimony. She and your family have touched many lives.

Beverly Ward-Gibson Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 3:48 PM
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your daugther, I just can't think what you are going thru, my youngest son Matt Ward worked with Sarah at the movie theaters, and when I called him, he said he was just sick to his stomach, but that Sarah was the nicest one that worked there. Rely on the Lord, my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

LINDA HALL MORRIS morrisl@wvdsl.net Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Rev. Creasy and Family My heart is full of sadness for you and your family in the loss of Sarah. I will always remember her as a beautiful young girl singing for Jesus at the Wayne Baptist Church. She was always an inspiration to me. She is with our Lord now, and we must sing her praises for her life and testimony. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad, sad time. Love, Your Sis in Christ, Linda Morris and Family

Aaron Arnold aaronandcourtneyarnold@verizon.net Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 2:00 PM
My deepest sympathies for your loss. My wife, Courtney Crabtree, turned me on to Sarah's website and I must say it is extremely powerful reading. Courtney said that Sarah used to be her babysitter way back in the day and she too is sadded by your loss. God bless your family.

Bram and Sandi Floria sandifloria@gmail.com Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 1:42 PM
Precious family, What an amazing daughter/sister/niece/cousin your family raised. She was, and continues to be a beautiful testimony to Gods goodness and power. I'm a so grateful to have been one of the many to pray for her and your family. We will continue to lift you up as you grieve your loss and heavens gain.

Greg and Nancy Hamby and family nandghamby@snet.net Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 1:34 PM
To all Napiers and Creasys everywhere... your family has always been exceptional, and Sarah's life and testimony of faith in the face of tremendous challenge and suffering is perhaps the greatest chapter in the inspirational story that is your family. We will hold you all, and Sarah's memory in our hearts with love and prayer.

Michele Endicott Mchel853@earthlink.net Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 1:18 PM

Dear Kathleen and family, I just wanted to let you know that I'm so sorry for your loss and that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I just spent a few minutes reading Sarah Beth's obituary and looking over her website. What a remarkable daughter you had! Her trust in the Lord and faith in adversity is amazing. What a comfort to know that she is with the Lord now and is no longer suffering. What a promise we have as believers, of the hope in Christ and that we will be reunited with our loved ones some day. You are all in my prayers. May the Lord comfort you and surround you with His presence and peace. Sincerely, Bonnie Jefferson (Speech Pathologist at Hite-Saunders Elem.)

Julie Taylor julie347@comcast.net Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 12:09 PM
Keith and Dale grew up across the street from me, so we have known them for years. I have worked with Martha for years at the VA and knew Virginia too. I have followed Sarah Beth's website. It is beautiful and very inspiring. I think it should be made into a book. Some of the best messages I have heard. You have my thoughts and prayers!! Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Donna Falls steelerwoman@peoplepc.com Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 11:55 AM
I only knew of Sara through the Pea Ridge Baptist Church, where my daughter's family go. I followed her journey through her website and, what an inspiration she was all over the world, she touched lives and never complained. Her life humbles me when I complain about a headache, I want to stop and thank God for the life I have and the life Sara Beth led. What an example of a Christlike life. From the time my Dad heard of her, he prayed for everyday until he left to live in heaven. He and my Mom will be there to greet her and throw their crowns at Christ's feet and have a reunion that will never stop. God richly bless and comfort her family and friends and know she DID fight the good fight and is now in the Paradise she longed for, Jesus name, I pray.

Jane Evans Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 11:23 AM
Very sorry to hear about Sarah Beth. She was such a sweet, strong and inspiring person.

Mark , Kathleen & Family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at the passing of your dear Sarah. I had been following her journey as I too was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2 1/2 yrs. ago and underwent a Mastectomy. I had so hoped she would beat this horrible thing, but God neeeded her, and she is with her Lord and Savior now. Seems like just yesterday she was born when you guys lived next to us. I know she will be sadly missed. Love & Prayers to all, Peck & Vicki Ruthereford.

Willie Wilson wlwilson@access.k12.wv.us Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 9:04 AM
I love you guys and I will miss Sarah so much. I learned a long time ago that words of wisdom often do more harm than good. But just being there and listening and saying I love you is very valiable. For all of you I want to be there to listen when and if you need me. There should be a time to celebrate but also a time to grieve. Jeremy and Jason I really love you guys and even though I am always out of town or working I can and will make time for you whenever you need it. Love You all Willie

Marilyn Allen Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 9:03 AM
God has finally given Sarah the peace she so deserved. I remember Sarah from coaching her in cheerleading in the youth league to seeing her beautiful smile behind the concession stand at the theatres. She was an angel and now she has gotten her wings. May God give her family the strength and comfort they need. Sarah will be grieved by many including me.

BILL AND TERESA NIDA tmnmaltese@aol.com Wednesday March 31, 2010 at 9:02 AM

I didn't know Sara personally but we had a mutual friend, Kristen. Kristen would share with me about Sara's health status and just how amazing she was and what a witness to anybody that knew her. Everytime I prayed... I would pray for Sara. Even though I didn't know her here on earth, I'll get to meet her in heaven.

Sarah's was a life well-lived even though it seems way too short for those of us here on Earth. May friends surround you with love, memories and comfort in the days to come. May you all wrap yourselves with the hope found in the fact that she is not dead; she has just gone home and she is waiting for you there. Love to all

Mark and Kathleen, You are in our long distance love and prayers. Sarah was such a blessing to all that she came in contact with. We will never forget all the wonderful times we had as youth leaders when she was in the high school youth at Pea Ridge. Even then Sarah was "walking the walk". No one can know the loss of a child, but our prayer is that you will take comfort in knowing seperation from her is only temporary and what a blessing it is to know she is safe, and pain-free in the arms of our Father. All of our love and prayers. Ron and Bethany

I can't begin to express how sad I was to hear of Sarah Beth's passing. I have such fond memories of babysitting her when she was a young girl. Beautiful inside and out. Heaven has a new angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Mark & Kathleen.
