Kathy Stump says
Dear Dan, Barb and family
It was with great sorrow that I heard of Sarah’s going home. She was a devoted young woman and poured her heart out for her friends and especially the children she took care of. Tommy and I enjoyed getting to know her as we spent time with Tracy and the kids. Sarah was always there, ready to help, to do whatever was needed. There will be many children that will miss her too. I pray you all will experience God’s grace and supernatural peace. Even though we know she is safe and free from pain, she will be greatly missed and leaves empty place in your family. Gary, Tommy and I pray for you and our hearts go out to you in your time of grief. Blessed are they that mourn for they will be comforted.
In Christ’s love,
Kathy Stump
