Sara was a wonderful Christian woman who we were blessed to know and worship with. Our prayers for comfort go to Don and their family

Sarah was an exceptional woman who welcomed everyone she met into her life. She and Don must have made thousands upon thousands of cookies/bread to share with everyone. She will be missed

A place that will always remind me of Sarah is Camp Laurel. She always had a smile on her face. I will treasure all the time my daughter and I were there at Camp Laurel with her. We love you Sarah, and the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

For several years our Christian Motorcyclist Association chapter would attend Camp Laurel's special needs camp. We would give the campers bike rides, fellowship with them and enjoy a delicious meal with them. As always Sarah would make this visit memorable. It broke our hearts when the camp closed. No one will know how many blessings are on Sarah's crown. She was one of a kind.

So sorry for your loss. I remember all the camping weekends! Such fun family memories. She has such a beautiful smile that was so warm and welcoming. God bless your family during this difficult time. Love you cousin.

Sarah told me that we were cousins and that our lineage goes back to Gratton, Virginia. I am glad to have worked with and related to such a sweet, generous lady. My condolences to the family.

Mrs Bowling came to our home every week to teach our handicapped son Aaron who couldn´t attend high school because of seizures. She was so very kind, and re remained friends on Facebook. I know where Sarah is and she is rejoicing with the angels! She was truly a blessing to our family. Sandy Payne
