I met Sarah at MHMR and discovered that we were distantly related. She was so kind to me inviting me to a tea party and even sharing a recipe for Hummingbird cake. We exchanged genealogy information and our friendship grew. Sarah was one of those quiet hardworking, generous ladies and I will remember her as a kind friend. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.
