Dear Warren,Julie,and George,
Sarah was so special to us as you all are.Growing up in Cornith Baptist Church I remember at a very young age sitting in the Choir thinking Sara was the most beautifull lady I had ever seen and the sweetest.Always a smile and a hug.We lost touch for several Years.Then we both ended up back here and in the Church we grew up in.We got to know Warren,Julie,Mark and those wonderful Grand children. I treasure the time We spent together and the phone calls. George and Sara never forgot roots in our little church and Dix Creek community as their mother never did. You could always count on them being there when some one passed away.Sara was loved by alot of people our family. a friend told me just last week Sara was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.It wasn’t just on the outside. We send our love and prayers to all of you.We have lost a special friend but it was Heavens Gain. Gilmer and Christine
We were saddened to learn of Sara’s passing but happy to know she is free from pain and with our Heavenly Father. Seeing Sara bedridden was difficult because she was always so full of life and loved to laugh.
Our thoughts and prayers are for the family now and also for the difficult days and months ahead. Time is a healer, and God will see you through.
