To Sara Louise's family I heard about Sara Louise"s passing last night from cousins and it made my heart sad because Sara Louise was such a big part of growing up at Lakeside. She helped me get the bus to Mahanoy City where I went to first and second grade. She would also let me play with her dolls and we would brush their hair and dress them. She had the ice cream stand at the auction market and I could get one free ice cream cone each Wednesday night.And of course we all went swimming at the Lake. I loved going over to Aunt Dos"s because she made doughnuts that were wonderful. There was making paper dolls and playing showtunes on the piano.I last saw Sara Louise in Orlando a number of years ago when I was working at Disney and we had a fun visit. Sara Louise will always be in our Lakeside memories Love Lindy Melley Bowers
