I didn't know Miss Sara very well but I knew of her and the family.From what I knew about her , she was a very strong and family-oriented woman. My prayer is that her strength travels to all women in the family!
Joe, I am thinking of you at this time of sorrow. Please know that you have been blessed by having a aunt like Sara!

Dina & Gabrielle,

Your darling grandmother / mom is as beautiful inside and out as the rest of her family. Although you will miss her physical presence, her sweet little spirit will be with you each and every single day... arm in arm with your guardian angel and you.

Know that she loves you both now as always and that she will never leave your side until we are all together one day in eternity.

Love,
Mary Anne
