    Travis and Kay, Please know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers as you celebrate Sarahs amazing life and cherish her memories. I know the last 6 months have been especially hard for her. While I will dearly miss chatting with her, I will rejoice in the times we had together and her reunion with her cherished husband and Sally. With love and prayers, Linda Greaver (PT at Patriots Colony,)
