Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
So sorry Neal and Jennie and family about your loss and very sorry I was out of town and could not attend the service for your lovely mother….thinking of you all at this time…
I’m so sorry to hear about aunt Sarah. We just found out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to the CObb Family. May God bless you in your time of sorrow.
Sarah was a gracious hostess who always greeted you with open arms. When you were in her presence , she made you feel loved and special. She talked with excitement and enthusiasm about her family and was a joy to be with. We love you Aunt Sarah.
Miss Sarah was like a mom to me since we bought the home across the street from her in 1997. The years we enjoyed together will always be wonderful memories for me. Whenever a flower blooms in my garden it represents another smile from her because most of them were contributed by her! I couldn’t have had a more loving neighbor and I’ll always be grateful for the times we shared and her gentle nudge that led us to Sharpburg Baptist Church. We’ll never miss her because she will always be in our hearts.
