Sorry for your loss
Marie,April An (Sara's Look Alike) we are so sorry about the passing of Aunt Sara as she was fondly called by us.our deepest condolences and prayers are with you during your time of bereavement.
This is so shocking! Sadly, I was looking for another friends grandmother arrangements and seen this about Aunt Sara!! I call her Aunt because we were all a family at High Point Deliverance Center where the Pastor/Bishop/Overseer Frank and Arlina Smith were our Pastor.
Aunt Sara along with others were on the Gospel Choir together where Min. Joyce Casey was the Director and we sang for many years together and had lots of good times in choir rehearsal. Aunt Sara loves to sew, and if I'm not mistaken she made our choir some dresses to wear and with all those different sizes and body shapes she kept her cool and definitely had lots of patience. She just didn't make us anything else after that!! She was outspoken, you knew what she was feeling no guessing involved, however she was a loving person, beautiful inside and out and had a voice to sing and a smile that was infectious! She will be missed, RIP Auntie RIP!!
