I was sad to hear of Sadie's passing; however I know she is free of pain and with George, your father, her husband and all the others that have gone on before her. It was my pleasure to be with Sadie during her illness at Homestead Lifescenes Special Care Unit. My our Gracious Lord and Savior look after you and your love ones now and always.
Sincerely,

I am sad to hear about Ms. Holbrook's passing. I have lots of fond and funny memories growing up across the street from Sadie and George. Ms. Holbrook was a good friend to my grandmother, Ruth Massey, and I spent many Summers with both of them as a kid on break from school, tagging along on trips to the grocery store. Her imaculate yard, garden, and knick-knacks have a special place in my memories! All the best from my family, Tracy.

So sorry to hear of Ms. Holbrook's passing. I work with her granddaughter, Kelly at the Chamber and I know that she and the family, although grateful for the long good life of Ms. Holbrook, will endure a time of sadness; but I trust they will also experience the comfort and strength that comes from the Giver of Life. My sincere sympathy is extended to the entire familiy.
