I'm sorry to hear Sarah is no longer with us. She was a great person, enthusiastic and very professional. I remember her from the Alamo regional. This particular year, I went with another mentors from team LamBot and also volunteers for the Mexican regional, I had the chance to ask for advice about how to ref since I was going to be referee for the first time in my life. I spoke to her after the final match, she was really tired but still had the intention to help a fellow referee. She gave me her email address and sent me her notes about the game and some advice about how to be a good referee.

She took her job very seriously, she had great respect for the teams and the effort they put into their robots. That's one of the things I learnt from her. She show me what being a good referee is about, I thank her for that. My condolences to her family and friends. Sarah, you will be missed.
