Memorial Service

Link for Sarah's memorial service webcast:  livestream.com/ecclesiahouston


There will be a memorial service in Sarah's honor at Taft on Saturday, February 19th at 2:30pm.  We anticipate that a large number of people will want to participate. Space and seating is incredibly limited here at Taft. We want to make sure that her family and closest friends have ample space to be present on Saturday.  We are going to post a web link so that those who have been following Sarah’s story on her blog and through the community may be able to watch a live webcast of the memorial. We are asking that anyone who has been following her life and story from a distance to join together with family or friends as you participate and celebrate via the webcast, so that there is enough space for those who have been closest to her and Eric to be in the building on Saturday.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to either the Spring Branch Education Foundation, 955 Campbell Rd., Suite 206, Houston, TX 77024 for the Sarah Chidgey Hughes Scholarship Fund or to the “Shine Bright” Fund that has been established in Sarah’s memory, at the Alamo Heights School Foundation Shine Bright Fund to support and inspire teachers.

Sarah's Transition

February 14, 2011:

Sarah is currently in the process of transitioning out of this life... away from her current worn down body and into an indescribably beautiful one.  She is very close to leaving the cocoon and becoming the butterfly she has always been so symbolically drawn to.  Her condition has dramatically worsened over the past several days, and given her current symptoms, we are being told that the time for her to pass is very near.  Currently, she is having few lucid moments, and the ones she is granted are spent straining for those three precious words that exemplify her life... "I love you."  Rest assured that she is certainly enveloped in love.  Please pray for a painless and peaceful transition, and those of us here struggling with the huge void caused by the loss of her presence.  

I think Sarah's light has shown so bright that this earth can no longer contain it.  It's time for her to go to the true source of that light, to stop being the lone lantern shining into the darkness, but to join the grand symphony of radiance.  It would seem selfish to keep her after she has worked so hard and is this close.  


Shine bright firefly, shine bright... with tears in our eyes we cherish the path you illuminated. 

-Your husband
