My memories are wonderful phone calls with Sara. We are both teachers, and we always talked about that. She was always so compassionate, caring and loving! Even though we never met her personally I feel like I know her. Jon, thinking of you and your family today with love  Ellen, and Lowell.

Oh how we will miss dear Sarah. Our families shared many fun holidays together as the children grew up over the years. She was always such a fun and generous hostess, and a wonderful person to talk to. We are all very sad and sorry for your loss.  Love, The Svenson-Zehr family

John and kids ~ I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Sarah. She was an amazingly sweet woman ~ always taking time to stop and chat and catch up with each other and what our kids are doing.  She will continue to shine on all of you

Fate played a huge part in us being in the same place at the same time on holiday in Ireland September 2024. We had an amazing night with Sarah and John which remains as the highlight of our holiday. No one would have known the fight that Sarah was going through. She was brave and funny with a huge zest for life and we feel privileged to have spent just one night with her and will remember it forever. Sending love to John and family on what will be a huge loss to them all. Love always - Karen and Miles x

Sarah had the most pure, gentle soul of anyone I’ve ever met.  Our souls go on and there will be times when you will sense her nearby.   I’m glad Rolfe and I had the opportunity to get to know the entire family and we wish you love always! 💗

I'm so sorry.  Sarah started our Days for Girls team in Belton.  Loved working with her, as we continue to keep the team going.
