Mrs. Sadie was a joy to our group. Several of us from Pisgah Baptist Church have been singing at Marigold once a month for several years--so we became great friends!
She will be missed next Tuesday when we go back. She was always at the front waiting on us to get there with a smile and hug (plus something sassy to say!) She would always threaten to sing a solo -- but never did. Maybe she is singing one now!
I know Heaven is laughing and smiling--

What a beautiful lady. Alway a smile on her face and a giggle in her walk. So much fun to be around. Heaven is blessed to have her and those on earth will suffer a loss of pure love. Heart felt sympathy sent out to Linda , Charlene and Blaze. She was so very special and so are y'all.
