Our condolences to all for the the loss of Sarah. Her beautiful smile, kind thoughts and gestures will not be forgotten. I last saw her at the family reunion and had the opportunity to speak with her. Our Mom and Dad (Henry and Loretta Gasperson) spoke lovingly of her and shared many stories of the great times they had with Sarah and Maurice. I hope that your knowing that she is with her Lord brings comfort and solace to you. “Blessed are they who mourn for they will be comforted. “
