To Sara's Family,
Our High School Yearbook
"A gentle voice, a presence amiable"
Sara is the quiet, steady type. Her persistance and drive have carried her through the years at North and will surely see her over the road of life.
Amen
I will always remember Sara

Sara was a loving and kind woman and I will miss her very much. As second cousins - we 'found' each other in 2002 having researched our common ancestors. It was a wonderful awakening. She brought joy to my life and I feel so blessed to have known her.
To Jamie and the boys: know she is in heaven with Jesus and Leonard and is finally at rest, but keep her memory alive forever.
