We all thought you’d recover from your illness…and it progressed so quickly…that it’s hard to believe that you are now gone from us.
I am happy, though, that you are now safe & secure and in your eternal home with Jesus. I’ve known & loved you as my second Mom since I was a teenager. You showed me the importance of family, you were such a loving & generous Grandma to my Children, and you raised a wonderful Son who has been my beloved husband for 25 years… You taught me how to be a great Mom and your light-hearted spirit and your sense of humor was so contagious! We had many fun adventures together, didn’t we? You were the kind of person that made everyone around you feel comfortable, special, loved and cared for. You spread love around everywhere you went and you will be dearly missed by the multitudes of people whose lives you touched. I thank the Lord that you were able to be a significant part of my life.
I love you, Sadie.
Sadie your smile and laughter will be in my thoughts forever. The stories we can tell are always happy ones. Not one person will say you brought them sorrow until the day we all heard of you passing. You will be dearly missed. RIP Sadie😇😒
We will miss you Aunt Sadie! We love you!
You were an amazing woman with a heart of gold we will always cherish that!

King James Version
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. The loss of your most beloved is the worst that can happen to anyone. Although we were together for just a few hours in New Orleans, we feel a lifetime of friendship, it’s like we knew her from high school. Norma is so broken hearted. Sadie is probably still laughing at me because I lost cell phone. Joe will tell you all about it. We love you and God bless everyone
Our deepest condolences to Sadie’s family. We did not know her very long. But she was an amazing women. She made me laugh about the smallest things. As soon as we met we had so much fun n laughter it was great. But I know we’ll see each other again without pain or illness just joy n peace.
