I have incredibly fond memories of Sara. She and Mortie were great friends with my parents in the 50's & early 60's. After both my parents passed away...Sara and I continued a pen-pal relationship that lasted well over a decade. Her letters were a testament to her fondness for my family. She will always have a place in my heart. Sending my affection and sympathy to the Garelik family. Love, Julie Clinton

My sympathies go out to the Garelik children. Sara is is indeed the last of a great group of friends that romped together in the 50's, 60's and 70's during their Appleton days and then beyond as they matured in the Detroit area. Both Sara and Mortie were part of this group with my Parents (the Austin's), O'Briens, Woodheads, and Forbergs.
Rest in Peace Sara
