My dear cousin- you were the closest thing to a biological sister that I had. We shared so many wonderful memories growing up, especially with our times at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I remember you fake coughing and asking Grandma for a cough drop. It always worked for you,, but not me! Of course. We were the original fabulous 5 with Grandma, you and I and Mary and Jane. Going to theatre, exotic restaurants that we knew nothing about, and Jane driving up on a curb (in Grandma's car) when she went the wrong way down a one-way street in Davenport. We laughed so hard we might have wet our pants. Now you have reunited with Grandma and Jane while we here on earth are at such a loss. I have been so upset that I deleted my Facebook account, again! I wasn't able to look at the outpouring of memories just yet. Someday I'll get back. Stop laughing! That's what we always did best together- laugh. And you made the world smile and laugh. I miss you so much. Rest In Peace.

We met Sarah through our son and daughter in law Josh and Dawn as they were neighbors. We also knew her boys Alex and Drew as they were buddies with Collin and Trystan. We never knew Sarah well but....because of the different sports events that her boys and our grandsons were involved with we did see her often (wrestling more than any). She was a very personable young lady who had a beautiful smile every time you saw her. Drew and Alex, there is one thing I know about your Mom and.... that is she loved you both more than anything. She portrayed that whenever I saw her with you boys and she yelled the loudest at the wrestling meets. You were her pride and joy. Dawn will miss her so much as well as as Collin and Trystan. Sarah loved kids and kids magnetized to her. They knew she cared.
May Sarah rest in peace, she may be gone but never forgotten. Her legacy will live on.

It was such a pleasure to meet Sarah when I was Alex's Kindergarten teacher. She was always first to volunteer to help in the classroom, with anything I needed. We became good friends throughout that year, and it was always fun to see her in the years since. She had a smile and such a welcoming hug whenever we met. I am so very sad to hear of her passing. Please hug those precious boys for me. I will remember Sarah and all who loved her in my prayers. ❤️🙏❤️

Scott, Drew, Alex and family, I am deeply saddened to hear that Sarah has passed on. Her light always shined so brightly any time you were around her. Her love for her family was all she talked about and I know you all miss her terribly. Please know how much you are loved. Remembering all that she is I hope will ease your pain. Sending you all blessings of love hoping one day smiles and laughter replace the tears as you rejoice in her life with you. I was honored to have crossed paths with her and your sweet family at the library. She brought so much joy and laughter to the library and those she was with. Her light lives on in her family. We will all continue to honor her memory by being that light that shines in the darkness for others to see again. Love to you all💖

I had the chance of meeting her through headstart in Springbrook. She was my daughters teacher my daughter loved her so much she was very compassionate with the children and she knew just the right things to say and do to calm the children.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Sarah’s passing from this world to the next. I was privileged and blessed to be Sarah’s Pom coach during her high school years. She was a leader on the squad and was dedicated to excellence. She and I exchanged ideas and didn’t always agree and had some spirited discussions but she was always respectful to me. I remember her with great fondness and offer my sincere condolences to her family and friends. Hope it brings you some comfort to know she will live forever in the minds
and hearts of those who shared some precious time with her while she was with us.
