Sarah K. Nettles
July 16, 1928 - January 9, 2015

"Mom in 2019 some 4 years later may the grace of god comfort your soul and spirt. I miss you dearly, and commit to carrying on your loving, elegant, wise and compassionate legacy in a world that needs so much of who you were and what you demonstrated all your life---pure LOVE!"

"Happy Birthday Mom, we miss your earthly presence and cherish the memories and wisdom you shared with us. Not a day goes by that our hearts don't ache and long for you. It's just seems so unreal yet I know that God must have said I want my angle back because here work is done. So may you rest with in peace and celebrate eternal life with the God you served everyday of your life. I celebrate your spirit that lives on with us and I promise to continue your legacy of living life in the dignified and incredibly selfish Way you did always doing unto others as you would have them do unto you with love. I have to hold on to my faith knowing that God had to be incredibly happy with the work you did on earth and now rewards you with a peace that passes all understand! Love Karen and your Jibril!!!"

"Your loving mother and grandmother is a symbol of grace, strength and dignity. May her amazing legacy of children and grandchildren including Karen and Jibril bring you comfort in the days and years ahead. Her radiant smile is looking down from heaven and may she continue to walk in God's path. Our prayers to all of your family. Love, Michael, Madeleine, Nicholas and Maddie Paolucci"

"I would like to extend my condolences to the family. Pardon me that it is so belated. I was visiting with your old neighbors last weekend and asked about your family. I had no idea that Mrs. Nettles passed and was just online looking for a way to contact Karen when I found this obit. I am praying for you because I know how closely knit the family is. But I also know your mom loved you guys very much and instilled characteristics & values that will sustain you. God bless you and I hope to see you again one day in the near future."

"Karen and Jabril, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I remember meeting you and Ms. Nettles as you supported Jabril during his many chess tournaments. Karen, you and I instantly hit it off. Even though we do not communicate or see each other often, when we do meet again, it's like we never lost touch. I have always appreciated your kind and gentle spirit. You could instantly tell that Ms. Nettles and Jabril were best friends. They had such a loving relationship. I remember Ms. Nettles being a very classy lady who was very quiet and sweet. I know your mother will be sorely missed. May God surround you and your family with peace and comfort during this storm. Love always, Kim"

"Mom, the essence of your soul and being, represents the epitome of why I believe God chose to say on January 9, 2015 "well done my good and faithful servant". Your work here on earth is complete and now you're reaping eternal rewards! Marsha, your baby girl, and my baby sister shared a few of your characteristics in her tribute to you in ways.....that I currently cannot express in words. But what I will do, is leave you with a poem that both Jibril and I will cherish in your memory: A LIMB HAS FALLEN FROM THE FAMILY TREE. I KEEP HEARING A VOICE THAT SAYS, "GRIEVE NOT FOR ME". REMEMBER THE BEST TIMES, THE LAUGHTER, THE SONG. THE GOOD LIFE I LIVED WHILE I WAS STRONG. CONTINUE MY HERITAGE, I'M COUNTING ON YOU. KEEP SMILING ANS SURELY THE SUN WILL SHINE THROUGH. MY MIND IS AT EASE, MY SOUL IS AT REST. REMEMBERING ALL, HOW I TRULY WAS BLESSED. CONTINUE TRADITIONS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL. GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE, DONT WORRY ABOUT FALLS. I MISS YOU ALL DEARLY, SO KEEP UP YOUR CHIN. UNTIL THE DAY COMES WE'RE TOGETHER AGAIN! "

"Karen & Jibril, The two of you have been on my heart more than ever this month. I pray that the two of you will rely on each other during your time of mourning and become even stronger and closer to each other than you already are. "

"There are so many words within my mind; but God have given me to love on you and my nephew Jibril as always! All she is too you shall resonate from you forever! I love you, Sis! Talk to you soon"

"Deepest condolences to the Nettles family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God give you peace and strength during these difficult times. And may God Bless Sarah's soul Forever in Heaven."

"I well remember the important presence of your mother in your life , Karen. I know how important she was/is to you. continue to hold her teachings close to your heart and life will render good results. may she rest in eternal peace in the promise of God; that those who die in God will have eternal life.

Praying the Lord will see you though this time with His covering strength and love, and that He will turn your memories into a source of healing and comfort. Our prays are with you and your family. From your IBM family and the Brown Family."

May God be with the entire family."

"I would like to give my condolences to the family. I pray that God continues to comfort you with his peace that passes all understanding. Just know that you now have an angel watching over you. "

"Dear Toria, It's unbelievable that I have to sit here and write this letter to you. I can't believe your beautiful Grandmother, Sarah Nettles, is gone. I can't imagine how you, KLynn, Ryan and your entire family must be feeling right now. Your Grandmother was one of the most beautiful and wonderful person that I have ever met in my life. She always celebrated a person positive side, instead of their faults. I know you will miss her like crazy, but you will never forget her warm smile and words of encouragement. Please hold on to those memories and so many others, knowing that they can bring me some small comfort in the face of this overwhelming grief. I know the grief is exponentially greater for you, but I hope you can find some peace in your happy memories. She is now one of Gods precious Angels! I hope you know that I am here for you, no matter what you might need. This is my job as your friend, and I don't intend to fail. So, lean on me. Rely on me. I'll be here. Always, Chip Royal "

"My prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Please know that God is able and he will see you all through."

"There are some people that, when you are in their presence, simply light up the room and cause you to smile. "Grandma" was that person. In the time that I've known her, she has been nothing less than class, beauty, and grace. Always smiling, she always looked for the positive things in life, regardless of the situation. I know that I was truly blessed to have known her and talked to her. I will forever remember her sitting on the porch talking to me, always with her classy, elegant smile. Keeping my family in prayer and asking GOD for their continued strength..."

"When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. I extend my most sincere condolences to you. K'lynn 20. I know that what you are going through right now is very difficult, just know that I am here for you. Love you "

"Although I've never had the privilege to meet your grandmother i know that her presence and legacy lives in you. My blessings and prayer is that the Lord may heal your hearts and give you the peace that she has now. God Bless."

"My Right Hands, Best Friend. You will forever be missed. I love you, for loving her the way that you did. I can only imagine the kind of blessing you will rain down on Honey, from heaven. Continue to be the angel in heaven, as you were here on earth. "

"Praying for the peace that only the comforter can give, that peace that surpasses all understanding. You were loved by many and your legacy will continue to live on through those that admired you most. Rest in the father's arms. "
