Sarah was so kind, thoughtful, and she could always keep me laughing with her quick wit, and enduring smile. I’ll cherish my memories of her always.

I person Ive only met once makes my heart hurt because of the amount of people that hurt in her passing. I wish everyone strength and overtime may it get easier.

ving and caring. You always had a smile on your face and no matter what was going on you were always respectful with those around you.
Dear Sarah, I know you always thought I hated you but I didn’t. I really liked you, and I’ll miss you. Thank you for taking care of me, at Woodbridge and at CVCA. Love, Baxter the Cat
I knew Sarah from Woodbridge Animal Hospital, soon as I heard this news and saw that beautiful smiling face I was shocked and so sadden for her family and friends. She truly had one of the most amazing personalities I’ve ever known. God Bless her family and friends, my heart truly goes out to you all. Sarah, thank you for touching us all in some fashion. Your beautiful smile will continue to light us all up.
God Bless
Dearest Joan and Family… Abbey called me while I was in Florida to tell me the tragic news. Since there are no words, I am simply remembering our years together raising our children. I remember your heart filled with love, energy and willingness to step out of the box to
help all those throughout… Sarah is a true testament to the way you to and Roscoe raised her. She too touched so many, in so many
May you sleep with the angels and know you were loved and are loved. You touched so many lives while you were with us and we were so blessed to have had you while we did. RIP sweet Sara.
I was so saddened when I read of Sarah’s death. Even after 26 years, I remember Sarah’s laugh, kindness, and hard work. She was always upbeat and positive as a first grader. Over the years I would run into her and was always so impressed to see those traits were still with her.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sarah and I were best friends all through out elementary school. We were in the same class starting with Kindergarden all the way through 5th grade. I have the fondest memories of us growing up. My heart is broken for her parents and brothers. She was truely a wonderful person with a beautiful smile. She will be greatly missed but I am honored to have known her. Rest in peace my old friend
My sincerest sympathy goes out to Sarahs’ family and the many friends she touched the lives of.
Without having known Sarah I would not be where I am in life now. And for that I am truly and deeply thankful. Her presence and spirit is going to be missed forever. Sarah, for thank you for everything!!!
To the family of Sara Jones, I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t even begin to imagine what life must be like for you now without her. I worked with Sara at Woodbridge Animal Hospital for several years. Though I was not as close with her as many of our other co-workers were, she has certainly left her mark in my heart. Of course, like every one else who knew Sarah, I too loved her laugh….it was great. You can’t talk about Sarah and not think of her laughing! Walking into the animal hospital to begin my shift, I remember her many times mopping the floor. She would say “Be careful! It’s slippy”! Not slippery, but “slippy”-so cute
I also think of gardening when I think about Sarah. I too love to garden, though this year she had much more luck than I did! Her love for her furry friends is also what I think of. She was recently trying to adopt a little puppy with a heart issue. It takes a lot of love, time, and money to take care of a pet with a medical issue like that and even though it’s life may have been shortened because of it, she was willing to give that little pup a chance. Lastly, I think of her close friends that I too work with. I’ve seen pictures on facebook, and heard stories at work about Sarah and her close friends. She loved them and they loved her, and she was always there for them. They lost a great friend, and my heart also goes out to them. The day that I and my co-workers heard of Sarah’s passing….it was just surreal, and it kind of still is. Sarah, you are, and will always be missed.
My deepest condolences and most heartfelt prayers go to the parents, first and foremost, and of course the entire family. I witnessed her transition from this world and in my prayers I felt a deep sense of comfort and reassurance that she is at peace. She changed my life. Thank you for allowing me to sign this guestbook.
I have knon the Joneses all my life and they are really good people.I have to ask myself why god would take a person who cared for all people and aniimals.She had touch so many hearts in the 29 years she was here.May she rest in peace.My thoughts and prayers are with the Jones family!!!
My deepest condolences to Sarah’s family. To see her picture and hear of this tragedy was completely shocking. I pray that her family has the strength and support with one another to get through this time. I trust in God completely to make this happen. Wishing I could be there to celebrate her life … Much love and prayers.
I met and spoke to Sarah several times over the years. She was an extremely great friend to my son, Howard. On behalf of Howard and our family we want to extend our sorrow in your loss. She was a vibrant, funny, true friend to my son, and a lovely angel.
I only met with Sarah a couple of weeks ago at the Hope Center in Vienna to teach me how to give my ornery little black Cocker Spaniel “Cracker” her heart medications.
I was at my wits end and could only see my little dog deteriorating because she would not take her heart medications without getting very upset and biting me. Well Sarah saved the day and my precious little dog. She made it look so easy. I couldn’t believe I had not learned it sooner. But Sarah obviously had the knack, the knowledge and patience to get the job done right. I was so happy that day it brought me to tears. I thanked her profusely and probably hugged her at least 3 or 4 times. I was very grateful because in my mind she helped save my little dogs life. I felt such emptiness when I learned of her passing; “unbelievable” was my first though until it really sank in. Now I feel just an aching sadness for the loss of such a warm and talented person who made a big difference in one little dog’s life and her owners too just in one hour’s time. I certainly feel like I have lost a good friend. I can only imagine how many others feel the same way right now.
My sincere condolences to family, friends and colleagues.
