We have made a decision regarding Sarah. As we counseled with physicians and prayed for guidance, two facts became very clear. Due to the characteristics of Sarah's tumor, doctors could not remove it and we had no good option for successfully treating it. In addition, any treatment (chemotherapy and/or radiation) would have caused her much more pain and would only prolong her life for a very brief time. Therefore, we have decided not to do any treatment and, instead, savor every moment we have with our little girl.Coming to this conclusion has been the most difficult decision of our lives. However, we feel absolute peace and assurance that this is the best path for Sarah. We have felt the strength of your diligent prayers and fasting on Sarah's behalf. Our family will continue to need those prayers in the coming days and months.

There are no words that adequately describe how you must be feeling. You are truly parents of an angel, a daughter of God and one special little sweetheart. We love you all so much.
Our hearts & prayers continue to be with you. We have grown to love your parents and, in doing so, we have grown to love their family. Robert & Nancy West
Kristeen,
We are praying for you and your family so that you keep having peace. We surely wish you did not have to go through this, but we know that you both have faith and the Savior is with you and the Holy Ghost will be you and your family constant companion.

We love you Giles family, and will be there for you always. Little Sarah will always be an angel in our eyes, along with the other three children! Make sure to call if you need anything!
My mom just told us the news this week. I'm so sorry. I've never been able to meet any of your children but knowing both of you so well I'm sure they are very sweet and the two of you don't deserve to go through this pain. I can't imagine having to make this decision... I know the whole family is praying for you.
you will be in our thoughts and prayers! we love you guys...

Hi,
I don't know you, but as I was looking for a friend with the same last name as yours I came across your blog and I am so thankful that I have. You have the most beautiful family. Any that lil' Sarah is a doll. She looks like a child model, just darling. My prayers are with you and your family. Remember, if it is Sarahs time then it is her time, but miracles happen and I pray for you all to have comfort by the holy ghost :)
I'm a fried of the Marzettas and just have to say that I'm proud of you difficult decision. I watched my best fried wither away from a brain tumor. She died at the young age of 24 after a 7 year battle. She too could have had one more year but it would have been full or more pain and more surgeries. May God bless Sarah and your darling family. She's a darling little girl and we'll be praying for you all.
