When I last visited Sarah in March of 2006, she looked good and was facing her creator with stubborn almost defiant courage. As always, she greeted me and my son Bridge with a big smile, open arms and a kiss. To me, "Aunt Sannie" was the most colorful character in my family. She swore, told crude off-color jokes and was able to laugh at herself too. She made the world's tastiest spaghetti and spicy tacos. She cheered me up when I needed solace or good advice and embarrassed me EVERY VISIT by telling my friends how she diapered me when I was a baby. She was full of passion for justice, for animals and for children. Sarah loved her kids like a momma bear. She always had big dreams and fulfilled many of them. I know she's up there encircled by grinning family and new friends, telling wildly embellished stories that end with a hearty, knee-slappin laugh. When I see her again she'll say, "What took you so long, come give your Aunt Sannie a kiss!" - gene in juneau, alaska##imported-begin##Gene Randall##imported-end##
