Sarah and I have been friends since we were around 16 yrs old. I moved out of state when I was 19 yr old. Even though I hadn’t lived in Wichita for 44 yrs we kept in touch and stayed friends all these yrs.
Every year since I’ve known her she never forgot my birthday or anniversary often being the first one to call and wish me well first thing in the morning. She had a remarkable memory.
I’m going to miss her love and support. I’m just going to miss Sarah. We grew up together her buzzing me around Wichita in her Volkswagen Beetle with the am radio blasting when we were in high school. She was a lot of fun.
Sarah had a big personality she played hard, loved hard and she was loyal. I’m really going to miss her and her awesome laugh. God bless you Sarah miss you already. I know you are now enveloped in the arms of your mom and grandma who you loved so dearly.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her beautiful family her daughters and grandchildren.
God bless you Sarah may you fly with the angels now. Love ya always and forever Ani
I’m gonna miss when she’d run things from Rock to West street. She’d come in and do some goofy dance like one of those singing couriers. She was… insanely fun and one of a kind. To know her was to live on the edge. They say to grab the bull by the horns in life.. she took it by the nose ring and led it around like a puppy. But yeah, Paula, you are your mom’s doppelganger.
In whatever you believe,
May the gates to paradise open wide and welcome you home.
