Sara Lea was a cousin who was loved dearly. The singer she loved was Don Ho. I will always remember my special cousin and continue to pray for her daily.

I can only thank God for the life of Sara Lea. She was totally without envy or hatred. She loved freely and fully and was full of hugs. And she loved to laugh! She taught me what was important in life, and my life is so much richer for having known Sara Lea "Coffeecake" .

The Woodfins were next door neighbors to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stith. I am their daughter.

I have many memories of Sara Lee visiting my mother. I also remember Sara Lee enjoyed listening to a very populr musican from Hawaaii [can't remember his name].

Please let Mrs. Woodfin know that Ethel Stith sends condolences. Mrs. Woodfin was a most devoted and loving mother to Sara Lee

I met Sarah Lea while she was living at Ginter Hall. She loved to laugh, and she took every opportunity to dance. My condolences to all her family.
