Sara was so much to so many throughout her life. Daughter, Wife, Mother and Friend. She was the kindest and sweetest woman anyone would ever meet. I so much enjoyed growing up in south Arkansas and seeing her there as well as in Little Rock. Please know that our prayers will be for those left behind.

Donna,
I'm so sorry about your beautiful aunt. I know you're thankful to have had her this long, since you lost your mom 30 years ago. Prayers for the whole family; a goodbye but a "we'll see you again", thanks to her deep faith in Jesus.

Sara was a real presence in so many ways to many people.
She was a sweet cousin and fun friend. She travelled to China with us as well as being part of many family get-togethers.
She will be missed greatly.
Our prayers are with her children and their families. May all their memories be precious.
