One of Saras great delights was spending time with family and friends doing a variety of activities including camping, biking, white-water rafting, swimming, and fishing. She enjoyed reading inspirational novels and playing and making music. She also enjoyed working with children. Recently she worked at the Kennewick Parks and Rec summer day camp then at the Central United Protestant day care. Sara loved life and had a great respect for the sanctity of life.
She was a member of the Parish of the Holy Spirit and its youth group. In high school, Sara was a member of TOPS the Olympic Program for Students and played flute with the Southridge High band. She was a drum major for the marching band during her senior year. She attended Western Washington Univ. last year and was intending to attend Eastern WA Univ. next quarter.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Joe Casey and aunt, Barbara Icopini.
We will miss her terribly, but are honored to have known her and been loved by her. A Celebration of Life Vigil service will be held at 7:00 p.m. Friday, September 26. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, September 27. Both services will be at Parish of the Holy Spirit. Interment will follow in City View Cemetery, Pasco.

Dear Family..
I never had the honor of meeting your Sara Beth,but I know her as a little sister in Christ Jesus.
There are no words to express my sympathy for you, only that Jesus has been preparing an eternal home with Him for Sara.
One day, you will go home with Him also,and be reunited with Sara. What a joy that will be…
God Bless
Terrance, Lori, Erin and Donovan, It breaks my heart that you are having to deal w/ such a devastating loss. I will never forget how happy and self-assured Sara was, the last time she stopped in the office to chat w/ you, Terrance. Please know I am continuing to pray for God’s peace for you all. Love, Lynda
THE ANGEL FLUTIST
An Angel’s flute has warmth, love and feeling.
When you hear the flute played, you are drawn to it by its mellowness and sincerity. There is a warmth that comforts you as the notes float in the air and land gently upon your ears. It’s a quieting and peaceful sound that makes you forget about the worries that are within. You can also feel the love that is being shared by the flutist. A love that is challenging you to open up and be more caring for those around you. The sound that flows from the Angel Flutist is an expression of the feeling of all that surrounds that angel both in Heaven and on earth.
To hear an Angel Flutist play is something most human beings can spend a lifetime looking for and never find. But we here at Holy Spirit Parish and the Tri-Cities area have all been blessed, because we have heard a true Angel Flutist – Sarah.
Dear Terrance, Lori, Erin, Donovan and family,
We are deeply saddened for your loss and offer you our deepest sympathy. God Bless.
Dear Casey Family, I am heartbroken after reading the obituary about Sarah Beth. I cannot express my pain and sadness in words, but know that I share that with you.
Sara was a bright light who shared her many gifts. A part of her will live on in the many lives she touched during her short stay with us.
She will continue to be a source of inspiration to me for as long as I live. Many thanks to the Casey family for sharing Sara with us.
To Sarahs Family, I feel so fortunate to have known your Sarah. Find solitude in knowing she is an angel in heaven surrounded by Gods children.
We are so sorry to hear about Sarah. We met her a few times in Hysham. She had to been a wonderful girl with you as parents. God bless .
Casey’s:
Words cannot express to you how sorry we are about Sara. Sharing memories with you is the only way we know how to tell you how special she was. My fondest memory has to be one Sunday morning when Erin and Sara were going at it in the parking lot over borrowing shoes or clothes or something and I thought WOW the Casey girls fight too! : In mass that morning it got better as the girls practically arm wrestled each other during the Our Father, probably not appreciated by Mom and Dad but watched in great amusement by those around you. Sara always had a happy smile on her face and truly loved her family. Watching her play the flute at Church and at the coliseum her face was filled with joy and happiness. She will be our angel in heaven to pray for to watch over our girls and to watch over all the youth in the world.
We love all of you,
The McPeaks: Steve, Gina, Errika, Leslee, and Rachael
Terrance, Lori, Erin, and Donovan:
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Sarah. I wish I could be there to celebrate her life with you guys. Sarah always had a smile on her face everytime I saw her. Sara is in a place that we would all like to go and her suffering is over. God Bless you guys and I am thinking of you all.
Terrance, Lori, and family,
Sara was always such a nice girl. I remember playing with her when you would all come to the farm during the summer months. What I remmeber about her the most is her smile and how she always laughed. Her voice was a voice like no other had and it was so neat. I will miss Sara deeply. I am so thankful that I had the honor to be Sara’s cousin. May God Bless all of you and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you!!
Dear family,
Sara inspired the lives of so many people. Her smile was like a bright shining star. Her compassion for people, a joy to watch. Myself and so many others are blessed to have spent time with Sara watching her grow and blossom.
I was very saddened when I read of your loss. Sara seems like she would have been a great friend to have, and I am sure that she had many.
I had the honor of spending a great deal of time with Sara. The camping birthday party in 5th grade, church choir and religious education, as well as many highschool classes. I am blessed to have shared so much time with such an inspirational person. I always idolized Sara’s committment to her catholic faith, and beautiful musical talent in which she shared often with others. I will greatly miss Sara, but I am comforted in remembering her great faith in the Lord. Terrance, Lori, Erin, and Donovan, may God help you through this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you must feel. The good Lord will be opening his loving arms to love and protect her. I will be praying for your family and friends through out your loss.
Dear Casey Family: My Husband and I walked into Holy Spirit at the Visual not knowing Sara and left knowing her as inspiration of life, thanking the Lord for using her as a instrument of his being. Looking around and seeing so many young people that Sara had touchd was amazing along with they all could of been at a Southridge or Kamiakin football game as well as some of the adults like us? But we all chose to be at Sara’s celebration of her new LIFE with OUR LORD’s presence. That is a true BORN AGAIN Child of God Christian reality to it’s perfection. I also found what a strong family Sara was apart of not many tears were shed as I’m sure they have been flowing for days, but it showed what a strong faith and confidence that you all knew your daughter and sister was OK, that is so comforting. She will always be missed. We thank your family for wakening our eyes to not take each other for granet who knows when our time is no longer of this world? We will try to keep communication with our children and show them effection. Sweet Sara was here for such a short time and look at how many people of all ages life’s she touched? Look how old we are and how many do we touch? Thank you “Angle of God Sara”. Love and prayers Kathi, George and FAMILY Stoltz’s.
At times like this, words seem so powerless to express our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your beautiful daughter. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find strength in the love and caring of your family.
Bill and Colleen
Terrance, Lori & family,
We can not imagine the grief and anguish that you are enduring now. We can only keep you in our thoughts and prayers, and know that God is with you.

To the Family of Sara:
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. I can not tell you how many people I know who loved and cared about her all the way down here in Walla Walla. I will always remember her and keep your family in my prayers. I knew Sara thorough SEARCH and because of that she was just like a family member to me. She was there for me up on the mountain top in my time of need, and was there to brighten my day and give me hope for a better tomorrow. She will forever stick out in my mind for her million dollar smile and heart of gold.
God must have needed another wonderful angel in heaven because he took a special angel from earth with him.
With my deepest regard and love.
Amy…Sara’s friend in FRED and always.
To Sara’s family:
Sara was such a wonderful friend. She was actually one of my first friends I made at Western. I have the fondest memories of her and I singing country songs and doing laundry and watching movies. She had such a kind spirit and was such a strong believer. I could tell she loved God very much and her family very much too. She always had such a bright smile when she talked about all of you. I could always relate to her and she helped me get through a really hard time last year. We shared some very special times. She, Lindsey, and I had many laughs together. I was very blessed to know Sara and I thank you for that opportunity. I will pray for all of you as I know this must be a tremendous loss, but be comforted in God’s plan for us all. I know the family of the baby that received Sara’s liver. My dad is a fireman and one of his fellow firemen are friends with the family of the baby. I hope this is a comfort. God will never forsake us.
Love,
Marcail Metsker
