Not sure what to say?

Sara and my husband, Richard Hamilton, met every Wednesday to play scrabble. I drove them to many scrabble tournaments over the years. I miss her so much. She was like my big sister. Richard died on June the 4th 2020. I know they are still playing Scrabble in Heaven. RIP!

I was blessed to have Sara in my life. I knew her since I was a little girl at Grace church. I looked forward to seeing her. She always had a welcoming smile, encouraging word, classy outfit, and a story to share. I will miss her very much! Many blessings to her family as Sara begins her new life in Heaven. Prayerfully

Sara was a very special Friend. She was always helping someone. My husband, Richard, and Sara belonged to the National Scrabble Association and they spent every Wednesday Playing their favorite Game and also went to many tournaments. She loved everyone and her family was her heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. I know she is at peace and in Heaven. We all have a Guardian angel watching over us now. You will be missed and in our hearts forever. We love you, Sara.
