My deepest Condolences go out to entire family. My Aunt was very ❤️ loving. I have fond memories of her from childhood to adult to senior. Never once did I see her without her beautiful smile and kind words. I am sure she spoke kind words to all of us who knew her but she always had a way of making you feel as you were the only one. Chay will truly be missed and always remembered.

The world has lost a beautiful soul. Sara had many friends and admirers at the 10th District (CPD), and shared her joy of life with all. This included her famous rice dish and fruit salad for staff potlucks. She was very proud of her family, especially her children. Requiem aeternam, Sara; prayers for your family and her friends.
