About Sarah


                                

Sarah Ann May was born on May 7th, 1977. In her first year of life she was diagnosed with CerebralPalsy, but that never slowed her down. Sarah attended public school and went on to Northwest College where she graduated with a BA. She was loyal to her church, family, and friends.

Sarah loved children and dedicated her life to making others happy, especially children. Sarah had nieces and many little cousins whom she adored. Every birthday she would buy the children gifts, her favorite was Christmas time, where she would buy them stockings and fill them up!

At the young age of 32, Sarah was diagnosed with tongue cancer. She had surgery to remove part of her tongue and the lymph nodes in her neck. She went through Chemo therapy and radiation, but it was unsuccessful. She passed away on December 26th, 2010.

Sarah had said that if she beat Cancer she would spend her time in Cancer centers helping children. Well I am not going to let Cancer win…I am going to keep her promise and carry it on for her!

Sarah would always buy her loved ones Silly Socks. I do not think Sarah ever owned a pair of white socks. Every time I see Silly Socks it reminds me of her, it was part of her. This is where the idea of Sarahs Silly Socks came about.

Children are often stuck in their hospital beds with nothing to wear but their gown and socks. Now they can have pair of Silly Socks to brighten their day, in memory of my cousin, my best friend, Sarah. 

***Sarah's Silly Socks have also gone further and are being donated to children in need of a warm pair of socks around Sarah's hometown, especially during the holiday season! 

More About Sarah
Sarah loved children, silly socks, cats, and the color pink. If you notice on her blog design, I added her 2 cats Preston and Paddington. There is also a hummingbird. The hummingbird represents a special meaning. When she was in hospice for her final weeks, a hummingbird would come by her window and visit, it was also there during her passing. The pink balloons represent her friends and family. On her birthday, and of the day of her passing, her loved ones send her a pink balloon to heaven. We did this the day of her funeral, and continue to do this today.

Sarah lived with her Grandparents Bill and Carol May. She was loved by her mother Cheryl, brother Jesse, and sister Leah. She had 3 nieces, a Godson, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and little cousins. She was also loved by her many friends. We all know Sarah is in heaven looking down and watching over all of us!
