Words cannot express how saddened I was to hear of Sarah's passing. I will always cherish my dear memories of spending childhood moments with her. She will leave a void but knowing that she is joining those that have gone before makes it more endurable. She was devoted mother, friend and in my case Aunt. I will truly miss her.
