Dear Sarah Ellen and Alex,
Sylvia let us know of Sarah Riley's passing. We remember her gracious spirit that tended and enhanced the beauty of the Earth and embodied the spirit of hospitality. So glad to have been at some of her great parties and family gatherings. Perhaps knowing that others experienced her many gifts may give some comfort that can ease the pain of parting.
Please know that you and all the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Blessings always,
Dabney and Betty Morriss
