I will always remember Sara as a person who is beautiful and kind ---heart and soul. I was lucky she was born into our family --Sara, our baby sister. Although we were born sisters, we were also very good friends. She departed much too early from this earth. It’s a shock for us all, and she and I had plans. Spending many hours on the phone, and in person, talking and laughing about our triumphs, troubles and future possibilities. Sometimes we wouldn’t speak for a time, but I knew she were still there for me always. I miss her so much.
Sara saved my life. She gave me her blood/immune system transplant; without which I wouldn’t be alive today. It was difficult for her, just dealing with the procedure, but also being away from her boys was difficult, but she did it anyway and dealt with the issues later. Sara was kind, quirky and generous to a fault. As her troubles mounted, she would still offer to help others, to reach out, and to include others. She had great comedic timing with her sarcastic and smart sense of humor. Sara would say something that would seem to come out of nowhere, and it could lighten the mood instantly, which would then give others space to open up too. Sometimes, due to the situation, or possibly Sara’s sense of humor, she could be misunderstood, but nevertheless, she loved and cherished all those around her with all her heart. Sara could bring out the best in people and her jokes brought smiles and laughter to anyone within earshot. Her absence has left a hole in the hearts and lives of the people who knew her.
Sara was one of those amazing people, she teaches you things in life and then she’s gone, much too early. I hope we can all keep a piece of Sara in our hearts and take it into the world with us. Help make this place a little better, just like she would always do.
