In Memoriam:
Sarah Hannah Age 40, of Waban, died tragically on Wednesday, May 23, 2007. She is survived by husband, Bob O'Hagan; father, Nathan Goldstein; stepmother; Harriet Fishman; stepsister, Jessica Fishman, and her beloved dog Bridgette. She was predeceased by mother, Renee Rothbein. She will be remembered as a lover of nature who loved to sit by the Charles for hours, communing with frog, turtle, bird and dragonfly. She knew all the plants, trees and even wild mushrooms by name. Her first book of poetry was published in 2004; her second due out soon. And she was proud to be named the poet laureate of the Friends of Hemlock Gorge. Her intellect was vast, her sense of humor legendary, her talent extraordinary. She earned her MFA and PhD at Columbia University, and taught at Emerson College. A Memorial Service was held on Thursday, May 31, 2007.
