Even with her illness she was so full of life! And lightened the room by just being in it! We will miss that presence! But I also know that she is with us in spirit and hopefully we will find comfort in that. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sage Family. Love, Mike, Tammy, Danielle and Landon Garcia
