Dear Morton,Lela, Michael and Marion,
I was saddened to hear of Sarah's passing. I remember most her calm manner. She respectfully shared her insightful comments and I always felt honoured,(and older than my years, as a child), when she would take an opportunity to talk with me.
I hope that, when the clouds of loss begin to recede,your happiest memories will shine through.
