A memory that comes to mind is of Larry and Sara Jane (how I always knew her) drinking martini&s with my mom an dad in the kitchen in Castro Valley on a lovely California day. They were really having a great time.

May they all be in Heaven now, having as good a time. Leaving the old, frail bodies they left in to soar!

With love and light,

Marianne

Our thoughts are with all the families as you remember Sara Jane. She sure did love you all I know. I do remember some good times at Grandma and Grandpa&s ""farm"" with all you kids and your mom and dad when we were kids. Also how much we appreciated your visit when my dad died. It was great to reconnect then.

Take care all of you, and love from your cousin, Madeline (and Dave too).
