Mourners came together over the weekend at Webster County high school in West Virginia to honor Sarah.

She carried herself with inner fortitude, a contagious smile and a optimistic attitude that lifted those around her,â Jarrod Hankins, the principal of her alma mater, informed the media. âShe was caring, compassionate and always willing to support those in need.â
Memorial details for Sarah are yet to be finalized.
