My heartfelt sympathies go out to you, her family and friends, during this time. I had not had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Sawyer but had the pleasure of knowing and working with her son, J.J. Sawyer. Also, had the pleasure of knowing his wife Charlotte, daughters Beth and Carole. Mrs. Sawyer passed down through them wonderful morale character and beautiful people beyond measure.
Her legacy will live for a very long time, as she leaves treasures for us to enjoy. Hold her in your memories and your heart forever. No one is gone until they are forgotten. Love you guys; you have meant so much to me over the years. Bonnie Whitley
