Sarah Ruhlen on Her Birthday

Sarah Elizabeth Ruhlen would have been 27 years old today, January 31, 2023.  We no longer have Sarah to walk up to us, to offer a joke, or the gift of a small toy, or something to eat… or her greatest gift, her winning smile.  However, on this day, like many others, she’s in the air, the water, the mist around us.  Sarah is in our hearts and in our minds.  People could meet Sarah and spend just a short time with her and remember the time clearly years later.  May Sarah give us another gift today, the gift of her presence, her drive, her unending positivity, her love.
