George, Becky, Donna and extended family I was so sorry to hear about Sarah`s passing she was a very special lady in so many different ways but I always loved how she was nice to me when she seen me . I couldn`t help but think how happy DeeDee was to see her when Shirley sent me the message that your mama had passed away . I was not able to be there because I was recovering from knee surgery but all of you were on my mind the entire day . I will continue to pray for all of you I know how difficult it is to say so long for now to someone you love , I still miss my daddy every day and it`s been 15 years but I find my comfort in God`s word and the assurance that I will see him again . Much love to you all !

Sarah has been part of my life for 47 years, especially my childhood. She taught me in Sunday school , her family spent many Christmases with my family, her girls and I were the best of friends, had many sleep overs, and my shower was at her home before I married. She was a wonderful person. Now she has gone on - to be with DeeDee, I'm sure that was exciting to see her . She will be missed. God be with the family. Love, Penny
