Sara Leslie Valentine Parks

Sara, I only knew you for a few short years, but I will remember you for many more. You were such a generous, enthusiastic person. You leave behind a huge hole in many people's lives.

Our hearts are broken as we love Sara and Larry, we have so many great memories with them they have always opened their home and hearts to us. May Sara rests in peace and may God hear our prayers for Larry and the family.

Sara was a great friend for us for almost 2 decades.

Everytime Larry and Sara came to Cozumel I loved our funny conversations over wine while Sara cooked together with Larry her famous soups.
Our son Lucas had many sleepovers in the years her grandson Liam came to visit to the island.
So many family memories and conversations and GREAT food always cooked with love and to perfection.

We know that Sara loved animals and we will make a donation to the animal shelter on the other side of the island on behalf of Sara.

Sara we loved you and you will be missed.

We are sending our condolences to Larry and the whole family who will miss a great person.

With love,

Karen, Ricardo and Lucas from Cozumel

Sara introduced me to Herbs de Provence, fresh thyme, and lavender during our evening cooking lessons.
She took me to my first opera at the "Fox Theatre"... Amazing! She showed me great things and will be deeply missed.

So sorry to hear about Sara's sudden death. I have so many great memories of times with Sara and was fortunate to enjoy many delicious meals prepared by her. I know how much she loved her family and friends and my heart and condolences go out to everyone. She was an incredible lady and she will be missed. Extra prayers for you Larry as you two were a wonderful and inspiring couple.
