In August of 1946, her 5 year old son Thomas ran away from home. Sarah along with her husband spent 11 years looking for him but gave up in 1957, assuming he was dead. Like her husband, she refused to watch the news in fear that it would be reported that Thomas was dead.

On October 9, 1987, the Battle of Annapolis took place, and the Konju Farm was attacked. Her son Thomas had come to fight off Eviltie attackers. She was happy to see Thomas now alive. Konju then left to fight more Evilties. However, the Zurg of the Evilties, Erkhon Stardom entered the house and to get Thomas to fight him, shot Sarah's husband James.

Thomas entered the house where he comforted his dying father.
