Mac,

Our deepest sympathy. Sadie was a very special lady who adopted both of us and always remembered us on special occasions. Although we live miles apart, she was always close to our hearts and thoughts. We loved to hear the stories of Doxology and Dominio when we met at the Myrtle Beach Square Dance Ball each year. With Love, Bee Swartz and Kim Ferrari
