I would like to thank everyone who has expressed their love, prayers, condolences for Gordon, myself and our families. Also, I would like to apologize to those of you who were unable to attend services due to misinformation printed on this site and in the newspapers. Please know that Gordon and I appreciate your love for our mother. She is a wonderful spirit who will continue to live through us, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren.
I miss you so much already mama. You made me the woman/mother I am today. I love you mama. And I hear can you now saying what you always said to me: God never gives you more than you can handle.

To Sarah's family and friends
Sarah and I were friends for 35 years. We did things together, we talked every day on the phone. The most important thing about our friendship though was the fact that we were there for each other when times were bad and when times were good. I felt like no matter what was happening she had my back and I hope she felt like I had her back.
Her death may have ended our friendship on this earth, but I believe everyone Sarah loved and cared about in her 75 years on this earth has a guardian angel guarding their back

I worked with Sarah for many years. There was no one any kinder and nicer. Her smile and laugh would brighten up your day. Rest in peace Sarah and may God shine his light on you always.

I was so sad to hear of Sarah's passing. We worked at CHDC together from 1985 until she retired. She was a wonderful co-worker and friend. Sarah was welcoming to all and a positive influence for me. My condolences to all of the family and prayers for you during this time of sadness.
