Charles, I was sad to hear about your wife's passing. Although I did not know her, I am friends with a few people who did. May you, your son, and your entire family be wrapped in prayers, love, and peace. Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Sara,
You were always so kind and loving toward everyone you met. Each day you would greet me with a smile and "Hello." Your acknowledgment brightened my day and always made me feel so special. I thank you for that.
I know you lived and breathed to take care of Chuck and Fenway; May they find strength and comfort from your positive memories. Rest In Peace knowing you left so many loved ones behind who will "step up to the plate" just like in baseball to take care of your boys. Big hugs!
