My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have fond memories of Sara. She was always so kind and beautiful. I know she will be dearly missed by so many people. I recently bought a patio home near Lexington, SC. Would love to see all of you. I have enjoyed being on Facebook with Casey and Georgia. ❤
