I remember Sarah as a good friend. We met at the League of women voters in the 1970´s, painted together at the Trumbull Senior Center in the early 21st century and spent many weekends going out to dinner together thereafter.
I do miss her companionship.

I have known Sarah since we were in the League of Women Voters together in the seventies. As Seniors, we enjoyed watercolor painting at the Trumbull Senior Center. We also enjoyed each others company having dinner together every weekend at an outdoor restaurant during the summer months.
I will very much miss Sarah as a good friend.
With deepest sympathy,
