Message: I am so sorry for your loss. I have happy memories of Sara at Roosevelt. We all loved Sara. It was my first year of teaching and I was supposed to take Sara for testing. We got into my car and started for the testing site and I turned by the Elks Club and Sara threw her shoes out the window of my car. I took Sara to the site and went back looking for her shoes. I can't remember if I found her shoes or not. God bless Sara and her family. Jeff Milne
