I am so very sad to let our CRC family know that Sara got her wings. I know she must be looking down on her family, friends and us with that beautiful smile of hers. Our friendship will always be one I keep to my heart.
She challenged and took her crc treatments in stride I thought while becoming a grandmother and relocating all the same time. I was very proud of her when she was a candidate for successful histotripsy procedure.
I will miss you forever my friend!.

Oh my gosh, this is terrible news. She was so kind, brave and smart as a tack. It had been awhile since I had talked to her. We had discussed the possibility of a girls trip when we were done with treatments. My heart goes out to her family.

Rest in peace, Sara. I will miss you. ♥♥♥

Your friend,
