My dear Ruth and Al,
This is shocking news. I think of you and Sarah all the time, and have tried to connect on social media through searches before. Today I decided to search once again, and I’m heartbroken to see this sad, sad news. I grew up with all of you. Sarah and I played dress up and Barenstain Bears Hat Game together. I often did not deserve her or your kindness, but you always gave it.
Sarah and I grew close at the cottage during high school. I used to sleep over many nights in the sleeping cabin. We’d laugh at Sweet Valley High characters, but still kept reading the books!
Sarah was always so much cooler than me making friends with the locals and letting me tag along, even though I was older.
Thanks for all the laughs and all the games of Scooter euchre with Grandma Ann.
I love Sarah, and I love you all so much. I thank her for always being a better person than me. Love you, darling childhood friend.
