"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." Genesis 28:15

Sarah lived and loved in a gentle way, seeing beauty in everyone and everything - a real softy! She married the love of her life and they had 25 wonderful years together. There was nothing she loved more than climbing on the back of their motorcycle and heading out to wherever the wind took them. They loved each other deeply, an he took care of her like nobody else.

To say she loved her daughter, Mary Jane, would be an understatement. Every day of her life, her daughter was her very first thought and her very last. She loved and was so grateful for her son-in-law Jimmy, who she knew loved her daughter as much, as she did.

Her granddaughters, Katie & Kara! There could not have been a more proud grandma on this earth. They were her pride and joy and she traveled constantly to watch them in every event they had.

Her sisters, Mary Lee Barbara! The adventures they had, filled with so much laughter and love was beyond measure.

Lastly, but most importantly, Sarah became a Christian later in life and she was never the same again. She prayed and studied her Bible every single day and never wanted to be anywhere, except tucked in by her Lord and Savior!
