My name is Caroline Koons.
I am writing this note on behalf of my older sister Julia and I.
Julia was on the Prowlers Team with Sarah in the ninth grade, and remembers her vividly. She shared with me of the great memories she had with her. Julia also made it clear that Sarah was an amazing person. She is so sad to hear of Sarah’s passing.
I don’t know if Ms. Debra would remember me, Caroline, but she was my aide in NMS for my 6th grade year, and she always expressed to me how amazing Sarah and Michael were and how much she cherished them. Just from hearing and remembering that, I wish I got to meet her.
I cannot even imagine what the DeVito’s and Smith’s are experiencing during this difficult time.
On both my family and I, we send our prayers of comfort and strength to guide you through this difficult time. We know losing a child is something that will always be challenging to bear, but the Northport Community will always stand by you.
Blessings,
Caroline

Sarah, The day I met you I knew we would become friends. With our weird sense of humor we clicked instantly, Us getting into Buffy The Vampire Slayer to Watching every Johnny Depp movie together. We've been through so much together when my grandmother passed away you never left my side once, I remember the day Michael was born. Everytime I saw you across the street I asked if you wanted to hang out than hang out till the sun went down, We never used the phone to call each other just ran across the street to see each other. You we're so excited to be a bridesmaid at my wedding I was so happy to see you during that moment in my life. I'm gonna miss you so much Sarah you will always be my best friend, I love you so much,Thank you for all incredible memories together.

My heart broke hearing of Sarah’s passing. I was her third grade teacher and remember her joyous presence. I’d see her from time to time and felt blessed to have known her. May she Rest In Peace.
Love,

The news of losing a former teammate, a friend, but above all someone who truly was like a sister to me during the roughest years of my life has me at a loss for words. I can only imagine what you as a family are going through and I am truly so sorry. During our softball days, Sarah had gotten me through a lot of hidden battles with my own mental health issues. I was still unsure of what was happening inside my head, but all I knew is that I was lacking confidence in every single realm, she was always there on the field and off the field to remind me how great of a person I was, how much she cherished me as a friend, and reminded me that being an athlete is only part of who I am. She made me laugh on the hardest days, she found me in the hallways and gave me the biggest hug after being bullied, and she was one of the first people I ever came out to. I still remember her subway order after every softball game, I remember her picking me up on her shoulders in the pool in my backyard after practices, I remember her always CREAMING me in Mario Kart, I remember her convincing me to see every Johnny Depp movie and learning every single dance the oompa loompas did in his rendition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Most importantly, I remember her in her entirety , all of the light she shed on everyone she crossed paths with, all of the strength she embodied through her own struggle, and on the softball field, and the true kindness and lightheartedness she never let fade or dwindle even during the darkest of times. It spread into so many of our lives. To Sarah, you have changed this world. You have changed my life. You have changed a lot of other peoples lives going through exactly what you have through your brave advocacy and education. This world is truly lacking without you and I hope you know how much I have missed you and will unfortunately permanently miss you. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your friendship.

To the Family of Sarah I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had the profound pleasure of being the Professor of Sarah at Silberman School of Social Work for Clinical Practice. She was astute,genuine and a true Clinician. She Embraced Social Work for herself and made it an experience for the class. Her life may have been short but her purpose in life is forever.

Dearest Sarah, the world lost such an incredible person who always knew how to light up everyone’s lives with humor or just a huge hug. You will always be watching over all of us because that’s the social worker I always knew you as. I love and miss you and no one can replace the role of best friend that you had in my life.
