To the Henneghan Family: Sarah was a blessing to us all, an awesome role model and a wonderful person to be cherished in our hearts and minds. Although she is not with us physically, spiritually she will forever be with us when we are reminded of her loving kindness, assertiveness and wit, support and encouragement or simply a smile, all of which she gave unselfishly. She was a true example of being a doer of God's Word and not a hearer only and will be truly missed. Our continued prayers shall be with your family during this time.
