Condolences

  1. We met Sara through dances at halls around the area of Industry and Shelby. She always had a smile on her face and a pleasure to be around. May her memories be with you in the years and days to come as they will be with us.

    Deepest Sympathy to the family.

  2. David and family,

    Your mom was a very special person to us and even though we hadn’t had the opportunity to keep in touch with her, she was frequently on our minds. She touched our lives in many ways and we will miss her. Our condolences go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

    Darrell and Andrea Fischer
