My Aunt Sarah was truley a remarkable woman. She was courageous in her battle with cancer and did not let it get the best of her. The times that I saw her she was forever brave, and was never angry , but was content in knowing that she was going to a better place. I see her love,kindness, and zest for life in each one of her children and grandchildren. She has truley been an inspiration to me, and I pray that I too, no matter what life my deal, that I will be this kind of woman.

Everytime I saw my aunt Sarah she would always have a smile on her face and never said anything negative. I can remember when I was in the hospice with her I started to cry and she said don't cry and be strong because I'am not scared to go home to be with Jesus.I even saw a little tear in her eye.

God Bless her family and friends.

You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

From her 13 year old niece who loves her very much!
