Passed away on July 1, 2015. Visitation will be held from 4:00pm-8:00pm Tuesday, July 7, 2015 with a Memorial Service at 7:00pm at the Taylor Funeral Home, Staples.
Sarah had a deep love for her family, friends, and her music. She was a talented musician and enjoyed playing the piano and the viola. She played in both the Heartland Symphony Orchestra and the Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra where she was the music Librarian.

My deepest sympathy to Sarah's family and loved ones. Sarah was one of the kindest and most thoughtful students I had the pleasure of having as a student. Her smile and spirit are unforgettable. May happy memories and God's peace comfort all of you.

Sarah was so full of life and lit up our place every time she came in. I loved our chats and beautiful smile. Deepest sympathies to her family, she will be missed greatly.
Heaven gained a beautiful angel.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

I really wish there was something that I could say to make things better. Even having been trained in grief counseling I now know that when it really comes down to it......there's nothing that can be said but I'm soooooo sorry. I really really wish there was more that I could do.
