Sarah, All of your friends here in Maryland will miss you terribly. Dance beautifully, dear girl.
Sarah, you are so loved & even more missed. Prayers to all your family & friends!
I would like to say that I live in the same community and that what has happened was a major tragety and that in knowing them both they were very nice and friendly all of the time from what I and all of our neighboors have seen. There are no words to explain...because I was in shock never thinking this would or could happen to such a nice couple or in our neighborhood. I am very sorry for your friends loss as I see you are in Maryland. We, as neighbors are very sad and have suffered a loss as well. They were both very nice people!
