Sarah was a light to everyone she met. Although her time at Northwestern College was short, she weaved beautiful relationships both on and off the tennis court. I always appreciated her sense of humor. She loved tennis and she brought much joy to our practices and play. She was adored by us all. With a warm heart and condolences to Sarah’s family-Coach Jamie De Jong
