    Ahh Sarah, you've gone and left us too soon... An example to all with your Generosity, Humility and Grace. I'd thank you for the patience you took with a troubled child; and the council you gave the friend that child became. I will miss our many conversations. And continue to pray for those you"ve left behind.
