My mother definitely had spunk, a sense of humor and loved cooking for family. There wasn't a time she wasn't making a batch of tacos for long trips or just for visits. She was taking way to soon and will be deeply missed. I'm happy she gave me the last 10+ years to be able live life and experience things I might have never been able to. She was not only my mom but my best friend, partner in adventures and helped hold my hands through my worst days as I did for her in hers. She left not only a memories that can never be forgotten but laughs for the rest of my life time. When we talk about this historic pandemic to our grandchildren and so forth she will be part of this historic time of 2020-2021 and the rest millions of loved ones who also will be remembered in history. You made that lasting imprint in everyone you meet! To the good times mom. "May you grow to be proud, dignified, and true, and do unto others as you'd have done to you" - Rod Stewart- If anyone new her you new she loved Rod!

I will miss her always. Sara brought a ray of sunshine into our lives. Full of wit and spunk she and I shared many happy memories. We cried and laughed of times past when we walked, talked or ate together; shared our views of the news on television. Sara always was kind, giving, loving, putting others first. She loved get togethers of family; enjoyed having people around her and loved serving, cooking for gatherings to celebrate life. Until we meet again sister. I love you. Miss you.
Your sister : L. Aguayo
