Probably the most positive thinking person I have ever met, which is no doubt the reason she was blessed with 90 years on this earth. I will never forget the fun times as family that we shared. Sadie will always be fondly remembered.

To Debbie and Delores and Family,
May God Bless you in this time of great loss. Aunt Sadie was a very special woman of God who will be greatly missed. I remember the fun we all had together as children. Your house is the only house that my parents ever trusted me spending the night with because they new "Aunt Sadie" was a woman of God and that I would be safe there. Now she is safe in the arms of the Lord.To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord...

I will always remember how Aunt Sadie would greet me when I came to Dayton to visit my mom..."Praise the Lord Nikki!!", giving me a huge hug. She was a true example of what walking with Christ meant. She will be missed.
God's Peace and Blessings

Deborah and Deloris-
Your mother and my mother, Alean, were sisters in Christ. My brother, Lavern, mom, and I loved her dearly. She advised Lavern and I many times. She has prayed with us and for us. Mother Sadie will be truly missed by us and everyone who has met her. I can say without a doubt that she is with our Lord! We have an angel in heaven now. May the Lord comfort you and the families.
