    Sarah was one of a kind for sure! Full of Life and Love. We first met Sarah when she was a server at Martha Jean’s Diner in Beebe. We got to know her, and she learned a lot about us. David & Josh – once she figured out that we have many common interests, she just went on and on about you two and how proud she was of your Service to our country. Later, Sarah was a server at Colten’s in Cabot and we were able to rekindle the friendship again. Little did we know for a while, but we also visited Peppermill Cafe in Cabot and got to know her daughter Elizabeth too! I’m so sorry for your loss. All of you please know that Sarah loved her kids and grandbabies SOOO MUCH and was so proud of them. Sarah’s sweet spirit will live on with each of us. May we all strive to be a little more like Sarah. Love to All, Darren & Wayne. Austin, Arkansas
