Yesterday would have been Sarah’s 30th birthday. Many of her good friends got together to celebrate her, at one of her favorite restaurants.
In true Sarah fashion, she is still giving, though she is no longer here. She is the best, constant reminder I have to live each day to the fullest and not to sweat the small stuff. I’m a better mom, wife, counselor and friend because of her.
In Sarah’s memory, we’re working on building a scholarship fund at U of I. The scholarship will be needs-based for students who intend to become teachers. Due the generosity of over 200 people, we’re 75% to our goal. When we reach our goal, a $1000 scholarship will be awarded yearly- forever.
If you’re interested in donating, checks should be made out to the University of Illinois Foundation and sent to:
