My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sarah was definitely
one of a kind. She was quick witted, intelligent, and as a school
psychologist, wanted the best for students. She will be missed.
~ Gwyn Coghill, Cape Charles, Virginia February 07, 2013 Sarah was my good friend at NNHS - It is hard to say good bye, although our paths went separate ways over the years - we staying in touch periodically. I treasure some photographs and letters she sent to me. Her life made a difference. Her memory will be lasting.

RIP Sarah. I will
remember you always as a determined soul full of vibrancy and
provocative by nature. I first met you at the gym and admired your
"let's get to it" attitude. I'm going to miss your sweet smile and
genuine kindness. Prayers to your family and friends, Jerry Murphy February 07, 2013 
Sarah...I am thinking about our laughter, smiles, and banter
together. You always brought a feisty energy to our conversations.
The photo below reminds me of how our humor blended together in such
an easy way. Your appreciation for the arts and of course the Dems
were always appreciated. Sending thoughts and love to your family. I
miss you. Love, DamianFebruary 07, 2013 My deepest sympathy is
with Sarah's family and friends. I remember her well in our senior
class. February 07, 2013 With deepest sympathy. My heart goes out to the family and friends. February 08, 2013
