Sara taught my children and grandchildren. My daughter Cindy worked for her many years ago and my daughter Bonnie Johnson is currently teaching at her school. We built a playground at the school in memory of my deceased wife because of our love and devotion to Sara and the school she created. We were saddened when we visited her about a month ago, but even in her last days she still showed a spark of humor and interest in her former students. She was a fantastic women and will be remembered with love and respect by untold numbers of people. My current companion, Norma Kraut also shares many memories of both Sara and James including the time that James appeared at a party in full dress kilts. As I said - Sara will be missed.

I was very sorry to hear of Sara's passing. She has left quite a legacy. I was a student at the JCC nursery school and later worked for Sara. She has touched many live and you should be very proud. Please accept my condolences.

Sara was my first supervisor as a young educator and her knowledge and wisdom brought me to the place I am today....the Director of the Greenwich Family YMCA Childcare. She will be greatly missed!
