Sarah D. Knapp

To the Knapp and Higgins family. It is with great sorrow that I have just learned of Sarah's death. I had the privilege of working for her at the UVDTC in 1984. She was a terrific person and I know that the lives she touched are all the better for having known and loved her. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Dear Higgins Family:

On behalf of our family, I wanted to extend our sympathies to you all at your time of loss. Although I did not know Sarah, she sounds like a wonderful, caring and spirited woman! We do know Ryan and Colby from their days at LHS and through sports with Tyler, and Colby spent some time at our house with our daughters, Erica and Emily. May Sarah's spirit and love for you all be forever in your hearts!

Starting in the old sugarhouse, where our families first met, through years of soccer seasons, knowing Sarah was always a pleasure. There aren't many people in this world who just 'glow', but she was one. May Mike, Josh, Ryan and Colby all find the grace she would have wished her family.

Sarah and I met through the friendship of our 2 sons Colby & Nikolai in kindergarten and later the soccer fields in Plainfield and Grantham Indoor. We spent many games chatting on the sidelines of Grantham or PES (when I wasn't coaching) about kids, family, school, and later sometimes her cancer. Sarah had a wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor and rapier wit; she loved her boys (all 4) fiercely but wouldn't hesitate to straighten them out as needed! After our boys graduated from LHS our...

I met Sarah years ago when we both worked evenings at the KUA library. It was clear right from the start that everything was more interesting and infinitely funnier with Sarah around. If she was here now she'd have a pitch-perfect comment to add to this message board - something to get us right in the heart and make us laugh at the same time. Our most sincere sympathy to your family. You couldn't be with her five minutes without knowing how much she loved you.

To Mike and 3 sons,
If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you. God Bless you.

Sarah "Diane" was my neighbor, babysitter and friend. We spent lots of wonderful times together way back in the Concord days and a little bit after we moved to Franklin and then on her wedding day. We lost touch for a while but kept in contact through my mom some. We finally got to reconnect at my 40th birthday 5 yrs ago, so glad we did. Diane had a great sense of humor and truly was a genuine person. She'll be missed.

I was a friend of Sarah's during our high school and college years. I knew her as Dianne at that time. Sadly, we lost touch after college but I have always remembered her fondly. I can still hear her laugh and see her sparkling eyes. She had a wonderful sense of humor and we had many great laughs together. I was privileged to have known her. My sincere sympathy to your family.
