My deepest sympathy to all the family. It was Miss Sara and Mr. Archiebald that encouraged me to hold steadfast at St. John Neumann at a difficult time. I remember them both from when I was a little girl at St. Edwards, Belmead where my mother and father, Amelia & Addison Racer attended church. I only in the past two or three years was to become reaquainted with Miss Sara. I thank the Lord that He placed Sara & Archibald back in my path. God bless the family and friends of Sara and may you find peace in the Lord.
