I haven't heard Sarah Crizers name for 50 years, but when I did, I thought of her fondly. I knew her from church and she also taught my sister and me piano lessons. My thought are with you at this time.

I've lost a dear friend whom I've known for many years. We were school mates. I would like to send sincere sympathy out to all who loved her.
