The holiday season is often marked by the warm glow of lights, joyous gatherings, and a spirit of giving. In a touching display of community support, a local pool company, Swimming Pool Services, is making a difference by bringing light to the lives of a grieving family. This year, the company has chosen to dedicate their time and resources to the Sauer family, who tragically lost their beloved mother and veteran, Abby Sauer, to leukemia earlier this year.

Abby Sauer, a 44-year-old combat medic who served in Iraq and the National Guard, was not only a dedicated servicewoman but also a loving wife and mother to two children. Her sudden diagnosis and subsequent passing left her family grappling with the harsh reality of her absence, especially during the holiday season.

Kaiti Lubbert, Abby’s sister-in-law, described the impact of Abby’s passing as life-changing. “Everything just changed. Like, life as you know it,” she said. The loss was particularly poignant as it occurred shortly after Christmas, leaving the family with the heartache of unfulfilled plans and the absence of a loved one who was the “light of everyone’s life.”

In an effort to bring some light back into the Sauer family’s home during the holidays, a compassionate crew from Swimming Pool Services stepped up to decorate their residence with festive cheer. The company adorned the house with holiday lights, transforming it into a beacon of hope and warmth for the grieving family.

“She was the light, and it would be great for the kids to still see that light,” expressed Kaiti Lubbert. “She radiated. Everything she did.” The decorations, in red, white, and blue, honor Abby’s service as a combat medic and serve as a heartfelt tribute to her memory.

This act of kindness is not an isolated incident for Swimming Pool Services. Every year, the company dedicates its time and resources to decorating the homes of veterans’ families, recognizing the sacrifices made by those who have served in the military.

Justin Lex, a representative from Swimming Pool Services, emphasized the company’s gratitude for the military and the importance of giving back. “[We’re] very lucky to be in this country, that we have a military that serves us,” he said. The gesture reflects a commitment to honoring and supporting those who have selflessly served their country.

Kaiti Lubbert took the initiative to nominate the Sauer family for this heartwarming gesture. “I sent in the nomination because I was thinking there’s not a more deserving family than Mitch and the kids,” she told reporters. Through this act of community kindness, Swimming Pool Services not only illuminates the Sauer family’s home but also ensures that Abby Sauer’s memory continues to shine brightly during the holiday season
