I worked with Sara for years at Bradley Candy. I moved to PA and she never ever missed calling me on my birthday every year and she always sent me a Christmas Card. She was one of the nicest and the most considerate person I ever knew, she always put others first and foremost. I'm so sorry for the families lost and my dear friend will always have a special place in my heart. I'm so glad she was a special friend to me for so many many years, I'll miss you always.
