I was sad to read about the passing of Sara. I worked with her when she was the coordinator of the Senior Center in State College. She was a great person with a kind heart, and will be missed by all who knew her.

Sara Krumrine was a keystone for Girl Scouting in Centre County. She loved the out-of-doors and supported all camps including Tussey Ridge and Camp Baree. She was a good inspirational leader for young women in her professional activities. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

John, Leta and family - know that the Berean Class and Mount Vernon Church is praying for you during this time, just as we did this past Sunday. Many of us can identify with your loss and know the internal struggles and conflicting emotions that come to the surface. Memories are the best medicine! Moms love us in unique ways, even when we might not have been too lovable. May the Lord be close and encouraging to all y'all. May His presence and love be a reality in your lives. Dan & Pam Meyer
