Sarah was my first cousin. We were raised during hard times in the forties and every time you seen her she had a smile on her face and was very happy. We didn't have much, but it never bothered her. I cherish the memories of sitting with her and having a cup of coffee in front of our old wood stove. Rest in peace Sarah, You were a good influence on many of us.
