As others have already said Sarah was an amazing person. She was extremely honest and wasn't shy about telling what she thought. She was a person you could always look to when ever you need some advice. Sarah was a good friend of mine for over 5 years and we had a lot of good times together. I will miss her till the day that I die and we meet again.
