Sarah was a rock in and out of B'nai Israel. She was ALWAYS there and a perfect hostess in her home.

I was lucky enough to know her most of my life.

She was always glad to see me, and I knew few people with greater hearts than Sarah.

If you didn't know her, her somewhat gruff style may have put you off.

But once you got to know her, there was no one with more of a sweet heart and generous soul and vivacious spirit than Sarah Zedd.

She was Captain Zedd, indeed!

SHE WILL BE MISSED!
