My deepest sympathy to your family. For the past two years Sarah reached out to me from time to time. I am a friend from school when she was in Independence. We had good conversations and facetimes about life and our kids. She was always so kind to me ~ may she be at peace.

Joe, Erick, and Allison, we send our sympathy and prayers. I shared some special days with Sarah at Edgewood in Madison. At that time, Joe was in the military as was my future husband. Sarah and I would check our mailboxes often together and shared our excitement when we would receive letters from our guys. Sarah was a sweet soul with a heart of gold. I will remember how much excited she was to marry Joe and how excited she was to become a mom. May she rest in peace.
