About Sarah: Sarah is our "Valentine Baby!" She was born in Jacksonville, Florida to Mike & Sandra Nolan on February 14, 1971.  She was adopted by Emmett Lee Jr. in 1983.  Sarah was a "mama's girl" and seemed to be attached at the hip to her mother!  History repeats itself as she too was a very shy timid little girl, but she was also very bright.  Growing up Sarah attended Catholic schools most of her life and graduated from Bishop Kenny High School in 1989 with Honors.  She also excelled in her studies at the University of North Florida where she became an RN by earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing in 1977. 

    She began her nursing career working for a time at University and Shands Hospitals in Jacksonville, Florida.  She was a wonderful obstetrics nurse.  She really liked the country western scene and often enjoyed going out "line dancing."  It wasn't long before she met the "country boy" of her dreams and married Chris Danese on August 10, 1996.  They have two wonderful children, Shawn Lee born March 5, 1999 and Meagan Leilani born October 29, 2001.  They bought a beautiful home where they presently reside in Glen St. Mary, Florida.  Chris is a plumber by trade and they recently opened their own business together known as Danese Piping LLC, in Jacksonville, Florida.
