Aunt Sara, I have so many memories of you, such wonderful thoughts.
The night I stayed at your house and Fred and John sneaked out of bed and woke me in the middle of the night, the loan of your autumn haze mink jacket to me so I would look so amazing at Ed's formal Military Ball at Massenhutten Military Academy, teaching me the "proper" way to make up a bed, and taking charge of the furniture delivery for Mom and Dad when we moved into the new house.

I love you and will never forget you beautiful face and kind heart. Rest peacefully Aunt Sara. i guess I will always carry your personna for your gift of gab.

To Sarah's family, Sarah was a longtime friend of mine. Have lots of memories of our school years together. We graduated from Botetourt High School in 1946 and have been in touch off and on ever since. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Agnes L. Hogge
