I remember Sara's extremely positive outlook on life and her exuberance, which she always shared with those around her. She was a joy to be with. She encouraged everyone she touched.

Sara was so loving and giving. She shared much information about fitness and health.
She was very joyous, enthusiastic, and positive, even though she was often in pain. I met her when I joined the Curves Fitness she owned in Ghent.

What can you say about someone so full of life? I knew Sara for about 10 years through Curves and words can't describe my admiration for her and my appreciation for all she did to inspire everyone who came in contact with her. I never felt I could complain or skip a workout when I knew Sara would be there cheering me on -- not just in my workouts but in life. She lived life to the fullest and that will be her legacy to so many of us and hopefully to her beloved niece, Landon. My thoughts and prayers are with Beth, Landon and all of Sara's wonderful, supportive family, whom she loved so much.

I met Sara at the last Beyond Boobs calendar gala- what an inspirational woman! As a Beyond Boobs calendar girl myself- MAY YOU ALWAYS KNOW SARA THAT YOUR POSITVE MESSAGE LIVES ON THROUGH EACH OF US!! XXOO

I feel so blessed to have known Sara through many years at Curves. She was an inspiration to us as she went through her cancer treatments, she was a motivator to make every workout fun and productive, and she touched and inspired more people than she ever knew. I will be with you in spirit at her memorial service (I am in Tucson caring for my mother) and I know that a piece of Sara's love and joy and determination will remain with me, and so many others, forever. May God continue to bless you all, and bring you peace and comfort in this loss which we all share.

Linda and Family, my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. Please know that I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I never had the pleasure nor the honor of meeting your Sara but I have a feeling she had the spirit of her "momma". I remember, so many years ago, you sharing the news of Sara's illness. She's at peace now, but will forever remain in your heart and in the hearts of those who knew her.

The world is a better place for having had Sara in it for her forty all-too-short years. She brightened the life of every person she touched, near and far. Her indomitable spirit and courage were reflected in the faces and hearts of her legions of adoring and loyal friends who surrounded her everywhere she went. Heartfelt condolences to all her loved ones, most especially to her beloved Landon. May her memory forever be a blessing.

Breast cancer has claimed so many and, in spite of her personal battle, Sara used her journey to educate, motivate, and protect generations to come. She never felt sorry for herself, and I was always so amazed at her personal strength and passion to create positive energy for change in the research and treatment of this disease. My deepest sympathy to Sara's family and friends. Sara has made an indelible mark and made every moment mean something.
February 17, 2013
My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends of Sara. She will be so very missed by anyone whos life she touched. Loved by all and will always be in the hearts of many forever. Much Love and God Bless.

Sara was one of the most energetic, positive and thoughtful people I have ever met. Her motivation to maintain her career as a firefighter, her dedication to her members at Curves and her warmth and friendship to everyone she met made her a role model for women everywhere. She will be missed by many.
