Susan, we are so very sorry for your loss. Your Mother was a wonderful person and a real angel on earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the coming days
I am truly going to miss my sunshine. Susan and family you will be in my prayers!
We loved Mrs. Sara, She was a sweet lady and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Lowell and I enjoyed many a good game of bridge with Sara! She was fun to play with and had good bridge moves. She was a caring, fun lady!
