Sara was a lovely lady, you couldn’t help but love her. Always so helpful and ready to pitch in and work. I remember sharing Sundays with her in Jr church and she was so patient. Creative in ways I never thought of and I was always pretty crafty myself. She never ceased to amaze me with her gentleness and kind ways. She will be dearly missed! With Much Love,

I first met Sarah at Harmon Motive years ago and still to this day, we laugh at the memories we made there. Over the years, my children and I, have had the pleasure of knowing her sweet daughter, Marla. They hold a special place in my heart. God bless you all .
