The best big sister anyone could ever ask for

Sara was my big sister and the best big sister anyone could ever ask for. She was constantly saving my butt. On the field, with my studies and even at parties when I ran my mouth a bit too much. I was at a party once when a girl approached me and wanted to fight me because she thought I liked her boyfriend. Ah the highschool days. Anyway, Sara just so happened to be at the party. Sara walked up to us and as soon as this girl saw who my sister was she literally walked the other way. That actually wasn't good enough for Sara though. She called her back and made her apologize to me. That night I left the party with my pride and without a black eye because of Sara. There are a couple of other times I could mention but I think for my parents sake would be better left untold;) Let's just say that Sara always seemed to be there for me when I needed a hero.

While Sara and Paul were in University I spent a lot of Oktoberfests in Waterloo with the gang and have to say that those days are probably my faves. Walking into a bar right in front of Sara with her id in hand and myself at the age of sixteen, we never got stopped.... okay maybe once but all it took was one little wink, wink from Sara and we were on our way to drunken, sausage eating festivities. Once inside it was like every other time with Sara, the best time of my life! Dancing on tables, shots for everyone and competing for who could steal the best felthat.

As we grew into our 20's, I got to see just how happy an individual could possibly be. Visiting Sara in California and being able to witness her marry the love of her life in a celebration that none of us will ever forget. I think we can all say that was the best damn wedding any of us have ever been to and just like Sara, she stayed up and partied as late as she could. She was always the life of the party with a smile on her face and those squinty eyes that put the Brown in Sara Brown.

Sara was such a beautiful person. She was always happy, positive, willing to help others and the best at anything she ever did. She was everything I have ever wanted to be and I will remember her everyday for the rest of my life!
