Sarah was indeed one of the sweetest people ever. Even after we both left Kemlite, running into her always brightened my day. I'm sure she will continue to bless all who knew her.

The world needs more Sarahs. She had a huge heart, a warm smile, and never ending patience. She will be missed by all that had the honor of knowing her. I can't imagine the sadness you must be feeling from your loss. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow as I share your grief at this difficult time.

Sarah was one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I knew her many years ago when we both worked at Kemlite. I was envious at how she never seemed to age. Her smile and peaceful countenance is still remembered after all these years. May God comfort Sarah's family during this time knowing she is now safe in her heavenly home.

To Sarah's family, Sarah was such a wonderful person. She was a frequent visitor at my gas station on Jefferson Street. She was always doing work for her Church and would gather donations every year. She was such a blessing to this earth. May she rest in eternal life.

Sarah brings to my mind, "a life well lived". A true ambassador for Jesus Christ. Looking forward to seeing her in Heaven. I worked with her for many years and always enjoyed her smile and humor.
I am so sorry for your loss.
