I am so sorry to hear that we have lost a dear soul. As caregiver of one of my precious students, Jasmine, my heart is heavy and so sad for the situation. I also learned she was the grandmother of another former student of mine... Josh Chappell.

Again, I know she was a wonderful lady because of the unlimiting love she'd show for others. I am so very sorry. My condolences.

Prayers for all her family. As a cousin, I remember how we enviously looked up at Sara and Mac as the Big Kids and she was so beautiful. She left this life way too soon.

A sweet gal, a sweet lady, whom many of us remember from our Murray High School Days, esp. those of
us from the Class of 1958. Among her accomplishments I would like to add to the long list that Sara Jane
could also play "a very mean trumpet"! God bless. Rest in peace. Dick Hutson
