"Sarah and I were friends through Middle School in Deforest. Unfortunately, after she moved we lost touch - Until we ran into each other at American Family. Boy was it nice to see that smile again. She & I had some fun times back in the day, being silly and dancing to New Kids on the Block. I will always remember and cherish those times. My deepest condolences and prayers to the family. Another Angel among us. Talia DeMinter (Theel)"

I am so sorry for your loss and may all of the wonderful memories you have of her help to ease the pain. She will forever be in our hearts."

"I was visiting Pat, when Sarah was about 2 years old. She came over to the couch I was sitting at, she climbed up and then walked over to me and softly touched my beard and in the softest voice she said "spiders". I shall always cherish that memory. Daniel Nesthus"
