You have my deepest sympathy, I just returned from vacation, and read of Sarah’s passing, and am so sorry I wasn’t able to,attent the service. I was a hospice volunteer with Mort, and enjoyed spending time with both him and Sarah, they were both wonderful people. Please know I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time. May it ease your sorrow to know that they are togethher again, at peace. You are so blessed to have had such wonderful parents. May your memories bring you comfort.

God Bless Rick and Joan and family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Sarah & Mort were neighbors at the cabin and we considered them family for many years. They were both so warm and loving and Petenwell isn’t the same without them.
You have all of our love and prayers,
The Mimier (West) Family
