To Sarah's family, please accept my sincerest condolences at Sarah's passing. Sarah was a lovely person; a gem to know and work with. Sarah and I worked together for many years at Parkview Hospital. She sometimes held "office parties" at her home which was a real delight. After we both retired I often visited her at her home and we often talked on the phone. Sarah will be missed. Let God's peace give comfort to your grieving hearts.
