Aunt's Sara's laughter and smile will always resonate in my heart as if it is the definition of warmth and comfort itself. I always felt that her presence was a portal straight to Heaven. She is now enjoying the treasures on the other side. I love you, Aunt Sara. So very much. Thank you for your love. I'll hold it forever, until I see you again.
