It's with a very heavy heart that I write my condolences. I grew up with the Goodmans on Calhoun Street. Sarah was a good friend and although we didn't keep in touch much, when we did see each other, it was just a good time. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend. My prayers to her husband, son, Hal, Billy, Jerry, Judy and Becky.
