Sarah, I wanted to let you know that your memory is still burning bright! And, you are certainly still with us in your beautiful children and grandchildren. As a mom myself now, I wonder how you did it all?! You were so fun and always made sure to keep adventures on the agenda. I wish I had half the energy and spunk you had! You are forever a huge part of my childhood! PS. I am so so sorry for cutting Robin's gorgeous blonde cornsilk hair when I was almost 4. I don't remember, but I heard stories.
