Dear Kunkler family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Teri I have fond memories of your mom from life on Yale Avenue in Roseland. She was always a classy lady. I know she will be missed. I wish you all peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Sara and I went back many years--in our teens. Our families were friends and neighbors. Sara and I worked at Andrew Corporation after we graduated from high school. I was one of her bridesmaids. Our paths didn't cross much after that, except for yearly Christmas cards with notes keeping up with what was going on in our families. I am sorry for your loss.

May your heavy heart be lifted as time goes by. May she be greeted at heaven's gates by those angels who have already arrived to help guide our souls to be with our father almighty. May "Aunt" Sara rest in peace and may she ever live on in our hearts.
