Sara V. Mitchell
January 26, 1958 ~ October 24, 2009 (age 51) 51 Years OldSara was one of the kindest, most generous people I have have ever met. She and Jim would throw a party and never fail, Sara would invite me, the neighbor around the corner. I always loked forward to the New Years and Fourth of July for the visual entertainment! Her door was always open yet she asked for nothing. She was one special lady and my heart goes out to her son as well as her friend Jim who took care of her and the house for many years.
Love to you both, Barb
Dear Jake,
I only knew your Mom a short time but she had such a beautiful soul. She always smiled thru her pain. It was a honor to have known your Mom. She hated leaving you. You were the light of her life. You were what kept her going.
God bless-
Darlene Woodside
Jake , one last remembrance ! There has been much mention of Sara's love of fishing . Others from Pittsburgh may remember that your mother, kept frozen in the family freezer an albino trout that she had caught . She was really proud of that fish .

Jake, It seems fitting that many of us leaving condolences regarding the loss of your mother, Sara, new her so many years ago . It is an unfortunate part of life that we lose touch with great people who have been integral parts of our lives at one time . Sara was a wonderful "girl" to have grown up with . She was great fun , had a great smile and despite an incredibly tragic time while in her teens she made it . I will think of her and miss her . I know that you were fortunate to have had her as your mother and friend .
Sincerely ,
Chris Armstrong
So sad to hear of Sara's long battle and sad passing. I remember Sara from my year at Winchester as an exchange student and recall her kindness and strength-- qualities which no doubt stood her in good stead through her career and this her last chapter. I am sure she will be missed by her son and family friends and work colleagues.
Jake, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She and I worked together at Pleasantville School and it was always a pleasure to be around her and watch her interact with the students, families and staff. She was an extremely caring person, always smiling and brought a lot of comfort to all. She always talked about you with pride. Sara and I often spoke about Pittsburgh as that is my hometown also. She will be missed by many and I am so glad that I had some time to share with her.
.. i have so many wonderful and strong memories of our years in pittsburgh. We grew up together and shared so many good and challenging times.. i am with you all in spirit and thought , and will cherish every memory i have . i will miss you sara, love , linda
Jake, I am so saddened by the loss of your mom. I know she lived with courage and grace, because I remember Sara as strong and wise, capable and caring, despite her difficult challenges. I remember Sara's lovely smile and her quick sense of humor. Sara's passing leaves a tremendous void, but our shared love for her strengthens our bonds to each other. I join with all those who knew and loved your mom in wishing you comfort during this sad and very difficult time. I hope that your memories and your knowledge of all that your mom loved and laughed at, and dreamed of and hoped for, will give you peace and strength.
With deepest sympathy, Stacy

I am deeply sorry for your lose, I know you wll make your Mom proud of the Man you will continue to strive to be.keep her memory alive.
My thoughts and prayers for Jake. Sara was my cousin, friend and companion throughout childhood. I remember fishing on opening day with the grandfathers, running the hockey field and spending Christmas Eves together. She was a vibrant, caring woman. Jake, your Mom was so proud of you and rightly so. We all send our love and thoughts.
