I am just finding this page for my sister. I felt that I needed to post years later. Her loss is something that will forever stay with me and my family. I miss her. I wish that she could have seen my graudate high school and now when I graduate college. All aspects of my life I focus on doing better for Sara. I try to be kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. I remember her joy and silliness. I wish that I could still remember the exact tone of her laugh. After her death, I started to focus on fighting for a world without cancer. I wish I would have done that sooner. Today, when people meet me the assume I am the oldest sister. That fact is heartbreaking because I am older than my older sister ever will be. I am glad so many people here remember her. I know I always will.

To my big sister. Almost every night now, a nightmare occurs. It usually takes place where for some reason I am walking away while you´re laying on your bed. My present self basically then takes over my past self and I turn around. I cry and hug you. When you ask what´s wrong, I tell you it´s because you have cancer again. You hug me and tell me that you´re going to be ok. But then I wake up and realize that you didn´t get better. you never got to go to prom or get married or really live life to the fullest. Cancer has already taken 2-3 of your years and now it will take 80-90 more years. I love you so much and I would trade my life for yours any day. I love you Sara

Dear Willis Family.....I was so incredibly saddened to hear about the disease progression and loss of your dear Sara Grace. Having gotten to know Sara and all of you as her social worker during the first year of her treatment was a privilege and honor.

Sara was the sweetest, most positive, and loving young woman who truly lived up to her middle name "Grace" each and every day. I was always and amazed and so proud of how she handled all of adversity challenges of her illness and how she comforted everyone around her.

Please know that she will be forever loved by so many whose lives she "graced" by her presence, gratitude, and joy!

Bless Sara, and Bless you all.

I met Sara at a Broad Run High School Thespian reunion, and I distinctly remember two things: first, she was extraordinarily mature for a girl her age. She was the kind of kid adults like to have around. Second, her smile was amazing, as well as her attitude toward life. So positive, cheerful, eager to experience life. It was as if she was incandescent.

All my love to you.
