I remember a sweet little girl that went to First Steps Day Care. Sarah loved to sing and dance. Always a ready smile and the most expressive eyes. I remember her love of reading-story time was her favorite. So glad I got to meet this wonderful family. (Shirley I still have the library reading t-shirt you and Sara gave me. I kept it as it was a Native American woman reading to children. She was a joy to have in our class-we loved the whole family. Blessings and prayers for comfort, Reva Bucholtz.

I have known Sarah since we came to Tucson in 1997, she was my daughters best friend all during Middle school, high school, and they were roommates their first year at the university of Arizona.. they went to church together, and were inseparable. Sarah, and her mother and dad, have never uttered a bad or judgmental word against anyone. I always found that soWonderful in a child 11 years old. I strive to be like Shirley, Tom and Sarah, and fail , daily. Sarah was loved,, and she will be greatly missed by our family, and many others. All our love and overwhelming hurt for your loss of a only and wonderful child.
