January 8, 2011
To the family of Sarah, I first met Sarah when we were stationed at Seymour Johnson in North Carolina, She was such a kind, nice person When we were transferred to Langley I was surprised to see her working in the commissary. It was a pleasure to see a familiar face and also to work with Sarah. She has been called home to a better place. No more pain or needles. Sarah we love and miss you. Loretta

For the Goodwin Family: Rejoice in the knowledge that Sarah is in a better place where she is whole once again and in no discomfort. May you have peace in this knowledge. I shall remember Sarah as she was when I first met her back in the 1980s. She was a most pleasant and cheerful person. I enjoyed working with her at Seymour-Johnson commissary. She was my buddy. I found that she also moved to this area sometime in the 1990s and again was confronted with this cheerful and happy person. She always had that smile. I was subsequently sad to hear of her misfortune with her health. I regret that I was not able to attend her funeral. May God be with you in this sorrowlful time.
