Sarah was a beautiful person both inside and out. She was smart, creative, funny and cared so much for all her family, friends, pets and vacations on the beach in Destin, Fla. We all loved her deeply and will miss her very much until we see her again.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I was just thinking about Sarah the other day and how much fun we had going to Canada and Bethel when we were teenagers. We had so many in-jokes that we made out of that trip. Sarah was always amazing to be around. She taught me how to thread a needle, included me in her slumber parties where we scared ourselves watching "The Bride of Frankenstein", and lent me countless books. She was a beautiful person inside and out and she will be missed. Much love to you all,
Lara
