Mom, you were most nurturing, caring to us and to your grandchildren. Thank you for the many wonderful memories you gave us. The meals you cooked, the dresses you sewed, the trips you (and sometimes Dad) took us on, the birthday parties you gave us. I am forever blessed to have been your daughter.

She was a great mother to my sister and I and our friends. Gracious and caring, loving and nurturing. We were so blessed to bathed in the warm sun of her love. I have also witnessed the genuine love that people had for her because of the care and respect she had for them. I am so grateful to be her daughter.
Mom, you will always live in my heart.

I always considered her my "other mother" also. She was such a beautiful example to us all. I think I'll miss her wonderful sense of humor the most. I'm trying to smile because I know she wouldn't want us to be sad, but it isn't easy.
My love to all her family,

Sadie was like a second mother to me growing up. I spent many a night at her home with her daughter, Kathryn, no doubt affecting her sleep on those occasions. She was like a saint putting up us in our teenage years. I will always remember her as a wonderful cook and homemaker. She always made you feel welcome and comfortable in her home. When I think of her I always think of her laughing, which she did so often. She was loved by many and will be missed by all. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers. Debra Storey Lund
