Jamie,Melissa and Misty, So sorry to read about your precious Mom passing. Sarah was a hard worker, a "handyman" that I can remember the times she had to fix busted pipes or other chores that she did without any complaints and just a neat person to know. I am proud to have been able to call her my friend. I have bronchitis and am so sorry to not have been there last night or tonight. Please know y'all are in my thoughts! Love y'all, Sue O'Neal
