I'm standing here today almost a month later. I'm still in shock. I want to just be your friend and listen to your stories. I want to be able to stop on in and hear about your fish and the cats. I only want to be able to take you out to eat and have a laugh or two. I'm not sure why God took you away from us maybe it was because he needed the sweetest Angel that i have had the honor of knowing. I miss you and will never forget.

Sarah had a light that was tough to see but you always new you were in the presence of a kind angelic human. She loved all creatures and I will miss your letters and updates on the stray. It was an honor to care for many of your critters.

Sarah was that unique type of person who was so concerned for all gods creatures. I remember one time she nursed a squirrel back to health and was upset when she had to let it go. She will be missed very much.

Sarah will truly be missed by all of us who worked with her at the Manchester Post Office. We enjoyed having lunch with her every year on Martin Luther King day. Sarah would talk about her animals, jewelry-making and flowers. She was a joy to be around and always willing to help others. May she rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Your friends - Denise DeBlois, Hope Pearson, Carol Crete, Joyce Matte, and Clara "Kitty" Guellil.

Sarah and I had many adventures. We recently attended a gem show, cancer survivor's dinner, and a contra dance! Her spirit was strong, and she had accomplished amazing things throughout her life. I'll miss our spirited discussions.
