Sarah touched my life as a mentor and friend at Rainbows. She radiated joy and happiness whether at work, at "Many Hours" or just talking about our lives. Her helpfulness surpassed all expectations! I love how she shared her passion to help children and families as well as advocate for them. Plus, it was fun and exciting watching her add children to her own family with John! You touched my life so deeply Sarah. Thoughts, prayers and love to your family and friends as we mourn your passing.

Sarah had such a vibrant spirit! I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know her. She was my eval partner at Rainbows and we had so much fun together cracking jokes. I will never forget her laugh, sarcasm, and way to wrangle our eclectic quadrant. She was a wonderful social worker that was extremely resourceful and loving. She will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace dear Sarah, I love you.
