Hi.. my name is Ted Root, met Sari and Andrea Gold along with my friend Tim Guest in the 3rd grade... Ive since moved to California with family but have found memories of Sari and playing as kids in her house - I remember the basement ( something Californians are not familiar with) ... doing some research to try to reconnect I found out the sad news of her passing my condolences to her family and friends...

Dear Howard and Family,

Sari was such a lovely person. It is hard to believe she is gone. I remember sitting next to her at Francesca's North last winter and talking with her about the girls, summer camp, and much more. Sari left this world much too soon and she will be missed. Our deepest condolences on your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts.

Howard and Family-

I was notified of Sari's passing through Drake alums.
I'm so sorry for your lose, as she was truly a lovely person. Although it's been years since Drake, my memories of Sari are fresh. She always had a smile and enjoyed every moment. I can only imagine what an incredible mother and partner she had become, because that was always something she aspired to.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Hello.
My family and I wanted to pass along my condolences to you and your family. I knew Sari at Drake University, as I was in the same sorority as she. She always was able to make me smile. I remember riding in her Thunderbird she had down to the Spaghetti Works, listening to Jeffrey Osborne. I think of her when I hear that CD today. Our sorority did a lip-sync deal to "We are the World" for a talent contest. You should have seen Sari. She was awesome.

Anyway, I have settled across the country, but have kept abreast of her goings-on through friends in the area. I know how much she loved being married and how she adored her two children.

We send our condolences and have you in our prayers and thoughts.

Hillary Yates DeMello, Wayne (husband), and children Chloe, Carly and Colin

Sari Snow was a beautiful and wonderful person. She was such a nice lady and was always smiling when I saw her. I used to babysit for her children, Emily and Jillian for a couple years, and I always loved to watch what a good mother she was to her daughters. I will miss her terribly. Please accept condolences from my family and me.

Howard and Family-

I am a Sorority sister and college friend of Sari's. I was deeply saddened by the news...though we have lost touch over the years, Sari frequently crossed my mind. I will always cherish the memories of our college days...listening to Barbra Streisand, eating lots of Chinese food, and studying for all of our Education classes in the dining room of our Sorority house. Sari was someone everyone wanted to be around...her outgoing personality and beautiful smile were contagious. Please accept my deepest sympathies. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Dear Howard,Elaine Richard and of course, the children-
I am Harris and Jean's daughter and saw the notice in the paper. I am so sorry for your loss. Reading the Guest Book lets me have a picture of what Sari was like.

Dear Howard, Emily, Jillian and family. No words can express how sorry I am for your loss. Having lost my dad to breast cancer just two years ago and having gone through it myself, I am no stranger to the world of cancer. When I look for something positive in being diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33, I think of having had the opportunity to become friends with Sari. We often had chemotherapy on the same day which sure made the experience a little more "enjoyable" - if that is possible. She was always an inspiration and role-model to me. Her courage and strength will honestly forever be a part of me.
You are all in my thoughts.
