I was shocked to find out that she passed away last March. I wish I knew so I would pay the respect for her and her family. she was so beautiful woman and I admired to talk with her when I worked with her at Westmont Jr Hi. She had a big heart for deaf and hard of hearing children. she will be sorely missed by many deaf children and staff as well including me.
God bless to you all.

I am so sad to know of Sarah's passing. As a fellow breast cancer survivor, she was and still remains an inspiration to me of a shortened life well lived. She encouraged others with her grace,lovely mannerisms, courage and hard work.

Sarah was such a beautiful person. She always had a great smile, and lovely disposition about her. Even through her sickness. We are all mourning her early exit in life....We are as caterpillars, caring the cocoon to its final resting place, while all along there is a beautiful butterfly flying above of which we are unaware. I express my sympathy to Vince, Shawn and all other family and friends.

My heart is aching for all of Sarah's family and I have only known her for 8 years. She was beautiful, kind, and so very loving. May she be at peace and have no more heartache or suffering. I will never see another butterfly or dime and not think of her. God love you all.

Vince,
I happened across this news quite by accident. I knew when we worked together at Hunter Alliance in the past your wife & You were going through some really hard times. The hard times you & I encountered at the Hernandez project are but a mere wisp of smoke. The loss of a wife loved so dearly is tragic. I wish you & the kids the best as you can be considering circumstances.
"May the road rise to greet you and the wind be ever at your back,
may the rain fall softly upon your fields, and until you & Sarah meet again, may God hold her in the palm of his hand."

I have so many fond, wonderful memories of Sarah that I will cherish in my heart forever. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I will miss her laugher, and funloving spirit. I am honored to have had such a dear friend.
My heart goes out to Sean, Vince and the rest of Sarah's family.
