Sara’s care for her mother was endearing. She stayed close by when I would visit Helen at home or in the hospital. She was quiet and unassuming until it came to the care of her mom. Helen was the thought she carried first and foremost. May God bless her as she gathers with her mom and all the angels. Blessings to Sara’s family.

So very saddened to hear of Sara’s passing. She was a bright spot every year when she dropped off extremely generous amounts of toys for our Toys for Tots collection. I looked forward to her coming every year. where we would talk and laugh like no time had passed between her last visit. I always felt like our paths were meant to cross. I pray she is at peace.
Sending love to all of her family and friends.
