Miss Sara was one special person as a lady, Mother, grandmother, greatgrand Mother and friend. She taught me in second grade and she and I laughed about one particular episode in that class (and it has been 50 years!!). We will all miss her smile, her words of encouragement and her love. May you feel God's hand on you and may your memories feel the void. God Bless You All. Belinda Cadwell Justus
