So sorry to hear of Sarah's passing. While living in Abingdon,Va she was a great family friend. We had so many fun adventures in Abingdon as well as surviving hurricanes in the Outer Banks! My children and I speak of her quite often. To them she was "Aunty Sarah".

We were her neighbors in Abingdon, VA.
Robin and Sarah talked daily for years.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Sarah will be missed.

I had not seen her since December 2010. I used to help her with all her computer needs. I enjoyed visiting with her about her genealogy projects. She even helped me with some of my own. May she rest in peace.

I have known Sarah for 50 years. Until recently she spent a few weeks in the summer in our home at the beach. She was a kind person and loved her family. Sarah was a great American, Southern lady and very proud of her heritage. She loved her Husband Wally and can now rest beside him.
We send our condolences to Lenora, Rick and the rest of her family.
