Attendees came together over the past few days at a local school in West Virginia to remember Sarah.

Both the soldiers had been working with the military unit as part of the president’s national effort to aid public safety in the capital.

“Sarah was the type of pupil that teachers desired. She carried herself with calm resilience, a contagious smile and a positive energy that lifted those around her,” the principal, the head of her previous school, informed the press. “She was caring, considerate and always eager to support those in need.”

Service plans for Beckstrom are in the process of planning.
