Sharing a lovely, gooey pastry (Sarah's perhaps, who always insisted on sharing) while discussing the unlovely realities of the political world.

I have two of her paintings hanging in my room. Beautiful.

For years I have enjoyed Sarah's companionship and friendship whether working at DRC, attending her local art showings, or engaging in intense political/current event discussions at Cup of Joe's. Condolences to Forrest and Rob; Sarah was very proud of her two "boys".

I met Sarah several years ago at DRC.  She was a wonderful coworker; always ready to work hard, but with a bit of humor.  Her talent as an artist was an added delight.  I treasure the piece of her work in my home.

Sarah was such a powerful force.  She had a love of life, and of nature, and people, and pets. I, too, was lucky enough to be a member of the little art and writing group, START. I was so looking forward to being able to make our next meeting, because it had been many months since I could attend. Sarah was always accepting of my schedule as a mother who is working and back in school. She would just invite me each time. And that is indicative of her: Widely generous, passionate and patient about so many things that mattered to her.  Even though I could not make it to meetings much anymore, she always let me know that I was still part of the group. It seems that the best way I can honor her is to continue--or reStart my art and writing. I will miss her wit, her voice and her wonderful humor most of all. I wish I had written down so many things she said, or better yet, recorded them. 

When I first moved to Columbus, an intense-looking woman, small, introduced herself as my downstairs neighbor and told me where to get a COTA pass and offered any other help she could give, and so Sarah did over the years, always with dignity and that New England reserve. She was passionate too, though , about her painting and the state of the neighborhood and the doughnuts at Blunch. I have several of her luminous paintings, which I treasure, but they are no substitute for the living presence. Those of us in our little arts/writing group will miss her pArticularly in its probable demise. Love you, Sarah.

I worked with Sarah at DRC and got to know her even better when she formed START (Sisters Talking Art). Sarah invited this small group of artists and writers to meet regularly in her lovely home. Her creativity as an artist and the supportive atmosphere she fostered were a blessing to all of us. I will always appreciate having her as a friend.
