Sara Jill McCauley Slack

I think of Sara often. I got to know her late in her and my career but we immediately connected. The few years I did get to spend with her, I grew to love this lady. She knew I had her back and we found that we had a lot in common. I truly miss her and have many fond memories. I only wish I would have gotten to know her much sooner. The angels got a good one!

I am so sorry to hear of Sara's passing. I connected with Sarah in Indianapolis as a fellow art therapist. Be at peace kind and giving friend.

Sara was the strongest advocate for right that I have ever come across. Her passion and drive helped to accomplish things that no one ever thought could happen within the walls of an institution. May we all be even half the person that Sara was. I will forever think of Sara when I see the colors of a sunset, that she is helping to bless us with one more painting. May you rest in peace, Sara.

I loved Sara from the moment I met her. She was a bright light in my life and at this hospital where it can often be so dark. She had a passion for art, an open heart, a deep understanding of others and what mattered in life and was unfailingly generous in sharing her time and passion with others. I was blessed to be able to work closely with her while she was at OSH, be on a team with her, collaborate with her on improving the lives of others and help her fight for art therapy as a life...

I cannot even begin to express what a loss this is to the OSH family. Sara loved her job, her friends and mostly her patients. She was so talented when it came to opening up the world of Art for so many who had such difficulty expressing themselves in other ways. Several people thought Sara and I were sisters and we never corrected them. If I ever had a sister I would have wanted her to be Sara. I love you Sis and I miss you everyday.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Sara's death. We had many, many wonderful times while working with the Indianapolis Public Schools--especially at the Cabaret Theatre. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Sara, your presence filled the room with a positive vibe, your smile and your energy banished the negative in others, your passion around the power of Art Therapy was infectious. You will be missed by many. RIP beautiful lady.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Sara. She was truly enlightened about the use of art for self expression and recovery. Sara was loved by the patients and they felt free to explore their feelings through the art she encouraged them to create. On a personal level, I found her to be delightful and am happy to be able to say that she was my friend. She enriched by life.
