  Sarah took over for me at O' Connell Elementary School in 2014 when I had my son. As many have already she was always smiling and happy. My condolences to her family and friends!

  Sarah and myself trained for our first half marathon together. She was a regular at my cycling classes and we had so much fun chatting about our roles in education. This is shocking news. The world lost an amazing woman. My condolences to her family. With love Ron Nugent ❤️

  I had the pleasure of knowing Sarah through our work. She had an infectious smile that she brought with her all of the time and an amazing sense of humour. She was a wealth of knowledge and a huge support for the schools, families and students she served. More importantly, she was a person who knew how to truly collaborate and be genuine, that made her invaluable. Sarah was one of the good ones and she will truly be missed by all of us. See you again my friend. -A Cannon

  I have so many wonderful memories of two little girls playing at my house over the years, my daughter Ashdenne and Sarah. She was always happy, smiling and giggling and a joy to take with us wherever that may be. My heart goes out to all the family Kimberley Harris

  I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sarah. I had the privilege of hiring her in 2014, and even then it was clear she carried a gift that lifted everyone around her. Her positive energy, her joy in working with children, and her genuine care for colleagues made her a remarkable learning centre and classroom teacher and a truly special person. Since then, she has brought warmth, humour, and heart into every school community she has touched. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to work alongside her.

  I had the privilege of working with Sarah at O'Connell Drive. Her smile and laughter brought so much life into the school. It was infectious. Her legacy will live on, in all the lives that she touched (both students and teachers). My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends, as they move through this most difficult journey.

  Through our love for our boys, Sarah became a treasured friend in our lives. She was always so kind and generous. The boys loved to go with her boating to her favourite island in their lake. She radiated love for her children and all children. We are heart broken for her and her family. We will miss you more than words can express. I promise to continue to nurture our boys friendship as you did. Until we meet again lovely Sarah❤️

  My heart is broken. Sarah truly lit up every room she walked into. She cared so deeply for the students she supported, and I am so grateful to have had the privilege of working with her. I will miss her guidance, her warm personality, and—most of all—her big hugs. My thoughts are with her family, her friends, and everyone who loved her.

  My heart is aching for my dear friend Sarah. We spent many many days together on the beach letting our boys run wild and free. She was a bright light, generous, and easy to be with. She was always there to lend a hand and was so special to my family. Even in days I didn't feel like having people around her and her family were always welcome, I never felt I had to entertain while she was around they would just show up and be part of the chaos. I realized In the past few days we don't have pictures together because we were too busy living in the moment and absorbing it all in real time❤️ ❤️❤️ Until we meet again my friend. I know you will watch over your boys from above. I'll be down here doing the same
