Aunt Sarah was an incredible example of exuberant hospitality, gentleness and warmth, faithfulness to God and family, and simply a delightful person to know. I feel so thankful for the Thanksgiving and 4th of July celebrations our families enjoyed at her home in Cape May for decades. I have always shared those traditions with pride to anyone who would listen (family newsletters, skits, Bonnie’s caramels, pies and more pies, the Turkey Bowl, etc.) My family now lives in Seattle and isn’t surrounded by family, but I do want to carry on her heart of hospitality by welcoming many into my home for meals and fun. I have a long way to go to reach the level of joy she exuded, but I guess she has almost 60 years on me so there’s time! I love you, Aunt Sarah. Thank you for being the hands and heart of Jesus to me. And “Bless your heart” as you always said. We rejoice that you are with your Lord. You will be missed.
