I have heard so many amazing stories of Sarah from my mom over the years. Everyone's eyes seem to light brighter when they speak of her. Such a kind and caring soul - she did so many great things during her time on Earth that we are all so grateful for. I have no doubt my mom learned many of her methods for being a great mom from Sarah. I am so thankful I finally got to meet her this past October. Sending love and hugs - Kelly Helton and family
