Sarah Dee Washburn - Online Memorial Website

 Happy birthday in heaven my sweet girl! I miss you so much my darling! Mama would give anything if you could be here with me  until  we meet again I love you happy birthday!!      Love Mom

At the time of Sarah's death, I had no idea how this must have effected her mother. How could any one imagine such grief that had never been through that?

Shirley, You lost your precious child. I have since lost one of mine. Now I know the grief of a mother's heart. How time stops in your step while the world around you spins. No mother, no parent, should ever have to bury a child. With greater sympathy then ever before, Polly

I have been told that time dims things, that memories fade. Sarah's smile has not dimmed, her memory has not faded. We know the gift of Sarah. Sarah died as she lived. She died enjoying life, enjoying time with her family. Even in death Sarah was as she lived, a giver so that others (people she never even knew) would have a better shot at life. Now Sarah rest as she did for many years before her early departure; Sarah rest with her beloved Ginger.

My dear sister, Shirley, time still has not given me the words to share with a mama's heart that mises her child. If I had the words, I'd give them all to you. Perhaps the words have escaped me because they have been given to you already. I have been thinking about this one and I think Sarah gave you all the words. You two were so close that I cannot imagine a word one being left unsaid. We should all be so blessed.

I love you my sister, my friend. bg
