Dear Sarah
Chase and I were shocked and saddened to see this. We remember her country girl drawl and her absolute confidence in herself and her abilities. We loved watching her play ball but mostly we just enjoyed being around her.
My heart breaks for you as mom of a daughter the same age. I knew you lost Lynn a few years ago and I know losing this precious girl is a heart blow like no other. Only God can bring true comfort in this soul bending blow.
May He comfort you in the times ahead. Sincerely
Wreba and Chase Rusbridge
