Sarah loved all people, young and old, adored animals, lived life on her own terms and did not bow to cancer. She packed each day with as many people and activities as she could fit in. She remained spirited throughout her four year battle with a brain tumor. God decided to call her home early. Heaven is a better place now, but earth has lost an Angel. Sarah, you are in our hearts forever.
