It is impossible to summarize Sarah’s accomplishments in a few words. Sarah’s personal encouragement to so many, her acts of charity and opportunities given for employment are innumerable. She helped so many people! She and Johnny were the original owners of radio stations WCDS and WOVO. She along with her life-time best friend and unstoppable Bridge partner Barbara Muckler opened The Youth Villa, a clothing business. Among her many accomplishments, Christmas Dreams was perhaps her most cherished. She worked tirelessly to ensure that no child went without a Christmas present. Everyone loved to be around her because she had such love for God, life, and her family! Sarah’s smile and unique laugh were one-of-a-kind and enduring qualities. We will miss her in ways that are indescribable!
We love you mom!
