I'm sorry to hear about Sarah. She and I served in the Air Force together and we're best friends. We lost contact with each other for quite a while but within the last few years Sarah found my phone number and we got reconnected. We didn't miss a beat with our conversations it was like we never lost contact. Mine and my daughter's thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. God bless you all.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Sissy and working with her at Patient First, she always had a welcoming smile to whomever she met and never forgot a name or face.
To the family, thank you for sharing her with us, treasure the memories and May God to continue to bless and keep each of you for the days ahead.

I had the pleasure of working with Sissy for 10+ years. She was fun, sweet & sassy and always smiling. She was quite often the highlight of my workday!
Sissy will be lovingly remembered by many.

I am very sorry to learn of Sarah's death. My prayers go out to the family. I was a member of the 1961 graduating class at Elon High School. We were a small but tight knit group and all were very close.

Sissy and I were classmates and friends and graduated from Elon College High School in 1961. We lost contact when she moved away but later on reconnected. I was thrilled when she came to our last class reunion. That made my night. That was the first and last time I saw Sissy since we graduated. We were such a close senior class. We were more like brothers and sisters. When one of our classmates dies they takes a piece of each one of us with them. I love you Sissy and I will see you again.

To Sissy's Family,
I am Jane Brockwell's sister and would like to extend my condolences to the family.
My mother and I met Sissy through my sister (Sissy and Jane were next door neighbors and very close friends) and we felt privileged to have met such a "fun loving" person. Sissy became a part of our extended family when we first met and we would always have a room full of laughter when we would get together.
Those who knew and loved Sissy have some idea of how great your loss truly is.
With Warmest Sympathy,
Judy and "Dardee"
