In January of 2013, her husband, Dave, and two of their sons—Dominic, ten; and Grant, eight—entered glory. Sarah and her three remaining children are forging forward, picking up the pieces, and finding pockets of joy in the ashes. A seven-year homeschooling veteran and a teacher by trade, Sarah put her kids in the public school system in the fall of 2014. Sarah substitute teaches at her children’s schools. Sarah, Kate, Finn, and Elise stay busy with extracurricular activities, doing homework, and performing other blissfully routine daily goings-on. When Sarah and her children are not on day trips in the surrounding area, out to eat, cooking, watching movies, gardening, or spending time with family and friends, they can be found at home relaxing, surrounded by their faithful canine companion, Bear, their many farm cats, their chickens, their gecko, their bunny, their hermit crabs, and their fish. Sarah, Kate, Finn, Elise, and their menagerie reside in Millstadt, Illinois on their few acre sanctuary.view less
