"Dear Dewey and family, Thank you Dewey and Cindy for coming by and letting us know the sad news about Sarah\'s passing last night. I remember the words from a old New England funeral that said, \"When God gathered the Golden Grain, our dear mother died\" ...Sarah was truly Golden Grain. We are so sorry about the loss of your sweet wife Dewey and mother and grandmother, Sarah. Sarah was my friend and I loved her. Sarah defended and protected truth with courage and spoke up on my behalf in this neighborhood when few neighbors did. Sarah was so kind to me and understanding and a wonderful neighbor. We are so happy to have known her and she will be truly missed. So sorry I was unable to visit with her more during this pandemic. This pandemic makes gatherings difficult and John and I are both at risk so will not be able to attend Sarah\'s funeral and gathering after. Thank you for inviting us. We wish we could be there. We will send a gift in her memory to St. Jude\'s Children\'s Hospital and we will always remember her. With Sympathy and Love, Susan and John Teague "
