I am so sorry for your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you always. God Bless you all.
My deepest condolences to you Uncle Rock. I remember the fun times I had with Aunt Sarah. I remember when we sat down and crocheted or knitted. It was so much fun. I also remember the times I sat at the house with her and we talked, drank, danced and had so much fun. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. I am sure she will be fine in heaven because God needed her help. Now she can be with my Momma and Brian I am sure they are waiting for her with open arms and they can look down on us and make sure we are alright until we meet them at the heavenly Gates. Love Carolyn
