Sara was my sister-in-law, whom I had the pleasure of knowning for almost 53 years, 51 of which as the wife of her "little" brother. She was a kind, loving, generous woman,with a great sense of humor. As the eldest surviving child of William and Mary Belle Jones, she was loved and looked up to by her younger sister, Bettye, and baby brother, Jerry. It was never a surprise during the two years we were dating for him to show up at my house in Sara's borrowed car, when his was on the blink. Sara was always there for her family, whom she loved dearly. RIP, Sara,and may the younger generations of your family honor your life as their legacy to make you proud.

MS Sara was our neighbor for five years. During that time I visited her often and loved listening to her stories of days gone by. She had such a positive outlook on everything past and yet to come. She and I loved bird watching. She will live on in my heart and in my memories. My husband and I were extremely fortunate to have had such a fine lady in our lives, even for just a short while. MS Sara, we'll miss you - be sure to feed the birds in Heaven (I know the bird seed is plentiful)
Love,
Judy and Chad

The good 'ole days!
