I want to wish my deepest sympathy for aunt Sarah. She was always so sweet and kind to me and loved her children and grandchildren so very much. She was very loved and will be very missed by all. Lots of love to all the family.

I can't believe we won't see Aunt Sarah again, at least on this side of heaven. She was such a dear, lovely person, both inside and out. We will miss her terribly.
