Family of Sarah, she was my friend since 1955. We had a wonderful friendship and we talked at least once a week end. I visited her when I was in Georgia a yeah ago last October. My heart is heavy as I will not hear her voice or see her again. God be with the family as you go on without her. She was a very outspoken but kind person. I will miss our conversation. My she rest in peace.
