My favorite memory of Sarah is eating strawberries out of her garden with Danny Joe, thinking she couldn’t see us. Beautiful soul.
Our condolences on your loss. Tammy & Ray

Our sympathy to all the Poe family. Sarah was an amazing woman, a dear friend to my mother and to so many others through the years. She will certainly leave a void in her family and the community.
Sincerely, Delores and Earl Fowler

Raymond,
I am so sorry to hear that your mother passed away. Dianne let me know as I don’t get a paper and live too far away to hear otherwise. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My dad told me once that it’s tough to lose your dad, but when your mother dies, a part of you dies as well. He was so right.
Thinking of you,
Cassie Eigenmann
