Rest in peace, Sarajane, our dear friend. Lana and I remember the good times and cheerful moments from our youth--so long ago.
Dear Sarah Jane, we are glad you are "outta here," as you wanted to be and no longer confined or bored or suffering! We will miss you; I've known you for about 55 years and will be sad knowing you are no longer on this same spinning rock, but grateful you were a part of my mother's life, my life, and later on, my husband's.
Give my mother a hug for me when you see her and tell her that I miss her!
Our condolences to Sarah Jane's family; we wish we could be there for the prayer and graveside services on Thursday... we will be present in spirit.
My condolences to Sarahjane's family. I knew she and her family growing up at Asbury Methodist. She was a few years older than me, but she was always so sweet and friendly. I know she will be missed but fondly remembered.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
Sarah Jane will be missed and regarded as a very dear and loyal person.
