Sarah attended school at ChildServe in Johnston and graduated in 2003 from the In House School Program in a Cap and Gown Ceremony. Following her graduation she moved to On With Life in Glenwood. Sarah loved listening to music and swimming. She received outstanding care while she was in Johnston and Glenwood and remained in Glenwood until her death. Sarah's life, although short, was one that touched countless lives, even those she had never met. Her caregivers said she taught them respect and compassion and called her "our little angel". Her family said that she had the gift to make everyone around her better and more caring, especially for special needs people.
