It´s been a few years since I saw Aunt Sara in person, but I have very fond memories from the last visit with her and Michael in RVA for Josh and Courtney´s wedding. We took the train, she drove, and I´m grateful that resulted in lots of carpooling and subsequent chatting, laughing and reminiscing together. She shared a million stories about growing up in Deepwood, antics by the brothers, my dad explaining nuclear physics to her and Tish as young girls, and what my late grandma Nancy was like. Michael, she loved you so much. I am especially sorry for your loss and think of you often.
