It saddens my heart to know that she has left this world. God came down and took one of his sweet angels. Even through your battle of sickness, you always kept a joyful spirit. I'm going to miss the conversation, the laughs, and doing my best to get the recipe for the famous banana pudding. I know you are in a better place and one sweet day we will see each other again. Love and Miss you Aunt Sarah.
Love you, Your great niece Jasmine and family
