To the Kelly Family,

I went to Marquette University with Sara in the 60's. She was an admired and generous friend to many of us who lived together in a dorm there. We often went to Notre Dame dances and Sara always offered to drive us and offered her home for lodging, complete with a wonderful dinner on Sundays before she drove us back. The dinner was huge & cooked by Sara & her Mom & was just what we needed to get us all on the track again for a return to our classes. I will always remember her kindness and though we lost touch over the years, she remains a wonderful memory of a good person I am grateful I knew. I will remember her and hope her family is comforted by the many fond memories her Marquette friends have of her.
