    I was so sad to hear about Sara. We were friends when we were little girls on Spencer Ave. I will never forget the good times we had together. I will miss you. Karen Vandeborne (Jones)

    I'm so sorry to hear of Sara's passing on Sunday. I just saw her at TJ Maxx on Friday and she was her bubbly self as usual. Wait, it may have been Saturday. She was trying to convince me to go to our 50th High School Reunion next month. Sara has always been there for our family. We used to hit all the discos in the 70's. We had so much fun. I'm sure she's dancing in heaven now and so glad to see her Anthony again. Rest in peace my friend. I love ya!! ❤️

    I have nothing but the BEST memories of this beautiful soul. She was kind loving and a friend to all. She has zero idea how much she touched people's lives. She was so kind to me when I first started working at Jcpenney, and that meant alot not knowing anyone. Im so sad I won't see her any more but I know she is with her son, and very happy now. God has this. 🩷🩷

    I knew Sara first as a long-time customer at the business I worked for, she was such a sweet and kind-hearted woman who always had a smile on her face. I'm saddened to see such a wonderful woman has been taken from the world so soon. May Sara rest in peacefully in heaven with God our Father.

    Sara was such a good soul. She missed Anthony so much but she shared her love with so many people. She never met a stranger and always made people feel so good. Her love for her family and friends went beyond words. There will be a void in many lives with her passing. God Bless and rest in peace my friend.

    Sara absolutely ADORED "her babies" at The Children's Academy! She stopped in my office at the end of every shift to thank me for the job she loved. Sara loved her coworkers and was always willing to lend a hand anywhere we needed her! Our babies were so blessed to have her in their lives. She will be missed.
