Sara Chapman Obituary

To Sara´s family and friends. Sara and I worked together for several years at the Public Guardian´s office. I was the supervising attorney on Calendar 2 for a while where we worked together.I came to rely on her for her judgment and warmth. She cared so much. She was so warm and generous and funny.I loved spending time with her in and out of the office. I can´t tell you how much I will miss her. she was a true golden heart. She was devoted to her work and her clients and her family and friends. She touched many lives in her life and her lovely spirit will live on through those who knew her.

Dear Chapman Family,

As so many have already shared, Sara is grealy missed by both her people and dog friends in the neighborhood.

Sara was a very special person and it was easy to see how much she adored Roxy. They were a lovely pair.

If you should ever need help with a sitter for Roxy, please feel free to call me. Her friends Bandit and Shandy would love to see her.

Please know that thoughts of peace and love go out to Sara and your family.

I learned just yesterday, Oct 24th, of this terrible loss. I am so completely shocked and devastated. I was just getting to know Sara as her little Roxie and my little Heidi were "best friends." My friendship with Sara was the beginning of a significant friend in my life. My 9 year old daughter took an immediate liking to Sara. I saw my daughter talk to Sara without reserve or shyness. Sara is the only "adult" person that my daughter has ever spoken to so easily and openly. She had such a wonderful and relaxed way of relating to children. I am so saddened by this loss and I cannot even begin to imagine the pain her family must be experiencing. She spoke often of her nephews and neices and I know they were a big part of her life. She will be so deeply missed by my family and everyone who's lives she touched.

Dear Mrs. Chapman and family,

I just heard about Sara this evening, and wanted to tell you how very very sorry I am. Although we had lost touch over the years (I saw her last at our 10 year reunion), she was always very much in my heart. We shared so many special times together as kids I can't even begin to list my memories of her and the wonderful times I spent with her at your always warm, loving and fun-filled home. I always thought I would see her again one day, and am just so sad to know that will not happen. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

With fond regards, Julie

Sara had such a big heart for people and animals it was amazing! Her and I used to joke around calling her dog "Foxy Roxy" because she was such a pretty dog. She truly loved Roxy and her late kitty named Quincy. She will be greatly missed. May peace be with you Sara!

To Roxie and Sara's Family:



My condolences to all. We, at Horner Park, will miss seeing Roxie and Sara together. Sara was a very nice person to talk and joke around with. I hope that we will be able to see Roxie again. Juneau (my malamute) had fun with Roxie.

I am so sad to hear of the loss. Having met Sara in kindergarten, and knowing her all through High School, she had a very special heart. She grew up and made an imporatant impact on other peoples lives, and for that she will not be forgotten. I remember her very fondly.

Warmest wished to the entire Chapman Family.

Dear Chapman family and friends of Sara,



I knew Sara as both a neighbor and a friend. We would stop and talk and let our dogs sniff each other.

Sara was always cheery and friendly. In fact, we waved to each other as she got on the train Friday morning. Sara will be truly missed by her friends and neighbors in Ravenswood Manor. Love, LeAnn and Augie

To Sara's Family

I am so sorry for your sudden loss of Sara. Sara and I have worked together in Juvenile Court for a number of years. In fact, I remember when she worked for DCFS prior to joining on with the Office of the Public Guardian. I think of her as incredibly hard-working, thoughtful, sensitive, dedicated, and fun-loving; Sara always had that great twinkle in her eye! I, like so many others, will miss seeing her around the court building doing what she so loved to do. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. May the Angels give you some semblance of peace.

I am a bar attorney in Juvenile Court. Sara and I were guardians for siblings in an abusive home. She was a great help to me and dedicated to her kids. Despite being recently transferred, she would come back to Juvenile Court to follow her old cases. I learned alot from her. She will be missed by all she touched.

To Wheeler and the entire family.



I can't describe how sorry I am to hear of your loss. It's always very difficult to lose such a young and caring individual with such a promising future .. it's extremely difficult to even comprehend the pain involved when it's your sibling. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family ....



Very best regards,

Rick Hope and the rest of the

We knew Sara from our dog training class. Our big shepherd Max loved her little shepherd Roxie. So we sat, laghed and chatted in the courtyard while the doggies ran around and played. Sara was so sweet. I was very sad to hear of this :( It's really shocking and I did not want to believe it was her. I can't even imagine how much she's going to be missed by her lovely family and many friends, in her neighborhood which she helped make so friendly, and her work, which she valued so much. Her sweet ways have touched us and made a difference in our lives.

Dear Lee, Mrs. Chapman, and family,



I am so so sorry for your loss. This tragedy has touched my heart deeply and I am praying that God will be very close to you all and comfort you with His love. There are no words that can express how very sorry our whole family is for your pain and loss. We are praying for you! With love - in Christ,



Dana McVey and family!

To the family of Sara,

Sara was representing my 1 1/2 year old son Christopher in a divorce case that is still going on. I never met her in person but did speak to her several time on the phone and she was the nicest person. Very willing to listen and help me with my case. I wish I could have met her. My heart goes out to the family and friends of Sara. I know she will be truly missed. God bless.
