I loved my Sara. She was like another mother to me, ALTHOUGH she was not old enough to be mine, she was all the same! She was such a good listener, and just an overall good, honest, thoughtful human being. I will miss her dearly, but I know Heaven is a better place today. Love to you, Roland and Monica, as you were the loves of her life. I am so glad I got to be part of her life.

Sara was a special lady who took care of so many others. In my years at Parkwood Sara took me under her wing and helped me make my way as a new assistant principal. She was a true friend, and also a prayer warrior for so many. She will be missed but knowing Sara and her faith, she is exactly where she has longed to be. Love and prayers Roland and Monica.
