My dear Sweet Sara, you were a beautiful light in our family. I will always remember listening to you sing when you were a little girl. I watched several of your videos yesterday, your birthday. You were so loved by so many. It makes me weep to read all the loving tributes all over facebook. I told you so many times that your voice was so beautiful it brought me to tears. We will never forget you, Sweet Sara. Love you always, Aunt Mary and Uncle Al.
