For several years I had the privilege and daily pleasure of working with Sara as a public television producer first at KCSM-San Mateo and later at WITF-Harrisburg, PA. She was one of the most consistently upbeat, level-headed, and hard-working producers I ever knew. In broadcasting, those are high compliments. I miss her, and am deeply sorry to hear of her passing.

We are saddened to hear of Sara’s passing. Josephine OBrien was my husbands grandmother by marriage. So very sorry.
Sarah was a marvelous woman who I had the pleasure of knowing and working for for a while the year after the sudden loss of my husband. I only wish I could have brought her into my cat filled home after the fire and perhaps she would still be with us. At least she is in Heaven with good friends Bless her loving soul.
I am Peter Frederick Dawes. Brother of Sara's birth Mother,Doreen, I am Sara's Uncle Peter.
I have only just been informed this weekend of the passing of our beloved Sara. I have always been so proud of her for her work with the International Red Cross and then her appointment with San Mateo County. Also she told me of her responsibilities as a child when she nursed her dear adopted Mother after she was crippled by a reckless driver smashing into her car. I never heard a word of complaint from dear Sara. Bearing in mind I only became aware of Sara's existence in May of 2000. when my Sister, (Sara's birth Mother) passed away. We attended her funeral in Las Vegas. Sara had spent a long time searching for her birth Mother who had kept Sara secret. Not even telling myself her own Brother that she had that precious baby, Sara, adopted. Dear Sara carried this cross all her life. I can't tell you how upset I am at the loss of our precious Sara. I love and miss her being out there in sunny San Mateo. I wish I could have spent more time with her but she had her own busy life to lead. I am eighty four years old now, living in the UK. I can't get to her service. Sara is a Roman Catholic, as indeed her Mother and myself are. Blessed Mary Mother of God hear our prayers and keep Sara safe in heaven, for ever. Amen. With love from Uncle Peter. [email protected]
