Today, while reading the paper, a familiar face with a beautiful broad smile leapt from the page. Sarah! I knew her instantly. She was UTS ‘80, while I was UTS ‘79. In high school, being in different grades is a “thing”, but UTS provided extensive extracurricular opportunities, and this is where our paths would cross often. Her positive nature made her instantly likeable, and one knew she was the type of person you would love to call “friend”. Unfortunately, as often happens, we lost touch once those common opportunities ended, until…..I became good friends with her cousin, Jane. As a result, I did see her a few times over the ensuing decades, and Jane would update me about her life and achievements. Her proudest achievement was her two sons. And I do know how hard she fought to stay with them. She was impressive in high school, so I’ve no doubt she was impressive in life. Her smile says it all. My condolences to your family, Sarah. What an achievement.
