Not sure what to say?

Sarah (Sally) and I grew up together in Chevy Chase, Maryland from ages 5 or 6. We lost touch and reconnected many years alter through he Forum Corporation and reestablished a great friendship.

Sarah was a pistol, brilliant in life and fantastic in the classroom. i learned much from her and treasured the many times we worked together.

My condolences to all of the Rishers from the Fords of Chevy Chase

Works cannot even express my sorrow. You were always there for me. Maybe your memory be as a blessing.

Sarah, goodbye, my old friend--you were cherished by so many people and will be missed so much. You had quite a ride. Love, Patty

I am sorry that I will not be in attendance at Sarah's Memorial service. Sarah was a mentor to me in my early days at Forum. I was an observer in one of Sarah's seminars - I was there to learn how to facilitate a group from a master. In the middle of the program Sarah dramatically stripped off her jacket and scarf and said "Oh I hate Menopause!" A role model indeed.
I will deeply miss the sprite that I knew as Sarah.

To the family of Sarah,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. I will be forever grateful to Sarah for opening up her home in Nahant to me (someone she'd never met) in my time of need while she spent the winter in Sarasota. Sarah's kindness, big heart and infectious smile will be missed by all.

With deepest sympathy,
Charlene

To the family of Sarah,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

I will be forever grateful to Sarah for opening up her home in Nahant to me (a total stranger at the time) after selling my home in preparation to move away for a new job, only to be laid off after 2 weeks! Sarah met me through my sister whom she also barely knew at the time. She didn't think twice about inviting me to spend the winter in her home while she was in Sarasota. ...
