      For her to fake cancer makes me mad. Because my aunt died from cancer back in 2019. And she had the biggest heart ever and when my aunt passed away it broke my heart my whole family was heart broken. And for Sarah to lie about this it makes me very upset. I really hope she serves a life sentence.

      @@brianna-reneejeanjordan9160 oh yeah losing someone to cancer is painful especially when they are a family member it makes you forever paranoid that you are next I lost my dad to cancer Grandpa my uncle and my older sisters in the verge of getting diagnosed it's horrendous we are Chernobyl survivors so for us the paranoia is especially intense I spent years and years as an in-home caregiver taking care of patients with everything I think I've had a patient with one of every kind of disease you can imagine but cancers seems to be the most emotionally damaging one I can't even describe it it seems to be the only one illness that drains you both mentally and emotionally as a caregiver I cannot imagine what it's like you're very right I cannot even imagine what it's like to go through this horror and this woman had the audacity to lie it's just beyond me cuz if "humans truly do become who they say they are" she's in for a rude awakening

    Hello, all members of the Belleville News-Democrat company. My name is Morgan S. Torres. I want to share this video that all of you made over 2 years ago.
    Now, listen here. My family members and I were having some fun with my grandfather, and helping him out for when he needed something, until he died from his heart cancer. The reason why he died from his heart cancer on that day before yesterday at 8:00pm, is because he took a warm shower to maintain his good health and good hygiene until something terrible happened to him. No matter how much my family members and I love and support him, we still miss him. As a person who has a heart cancer as well as my grandfather had, I definitely don't like it at any point when everybody (especially Sarah Delashmit) fakes having a heart cancer in order to earn enough money for everything. Neither do my family members. That makes us very disappointed everytime we see those people doing that. Not to mention that we have been feeling worried about my grandfather lately, no matter how much we love and support him. My family members and I would pray for him "Please have a good and lovely life in the heaven soon, and rest in peace [December 02, 1956 through May 31, 2023]. Thank you for loving and supporting us.", because he is my best grandfather in the whole wide world.
    As for Sarah Delashmit, she deserved to get put in jail for the rest of her life, and do a lot of community services for pretending to have those cancers (including the heart cancer) in order to get enough money for everything. Making those mockeries of those people who actually were diagnosed with those cancers is considered panhandling and scamming them. She really needs to know that panhandling and scamming are one of the illegal things in real life on Earth. We honestly hope that those prison-related punishments would make her learn her serious and valuable lessons in order for her not to panhandle nor scam anybody who actually is innocent and/or poor anymore in the future.
    Thank you all for publishing this video and please enjoy your good lives.
