It is with incredible sadness that we say that Sarah is no longer with us. She died peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of Friday, May 8th, 2009. We miss her greatly and cherish the time she had with us here in the office and in our lives. There really isn't anyone quite like her and her energy will always be a part of us. For all of you who joined in her journey with pancreatic cancer, we so appreciate your care and concern and your flexibility that allowed Sarah to do the work she loved right to the last month of her life.

We hope you will join us in celebrating this amazing life in your own way. Try something new, way outside of your comfort zone, and surprise yourself in Sarah's honor.
