    Sadie was one of the sweetest, most Christian women I have ever known. She had such a great influence on my young life and faith in God. Her pleasant smile and loving personality will always be remembered. My greatest sympathy to each of you and many prayers. So sorry I won't be with you on Saturday. Much love, Carole Layne Hagaman

    Sadie was a special part of my life after I started attending Victoria EPC. I enjoyed our talks, her beautiful flowers and just being with her. She will be greatly missed. God bless and comfort all of you in your sorrow.

    Kathy, Jackie, John and Ralph, We are so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. We have lost another treasured customer and friend. I so enjoyed my talks with Sadie, hearing about what her children and grandchildren were doing in their lives. She treasured each of you. She lived her life the way each of us should, loving and caring. She will be missed. God Bless each of you and may the Lord give you peace.

    What a special lady. She was always so loving, smiling and sharing. It has been a real joy to have been a part of her life and we will miss her so much. So thankful for beautiful memories to cherish. May God bless each member of her family in a special way. Know you will carry her close in your hearts. Our love and sympathy.

    Sadie has always been special to me. She always opened her home to all of us crashing in working on projects and spreading out our mess and never discouraging our efforts. I will always remember her laugh (even though I knew she was laughing at us)!! My thoughts are for her children and family during this difficult time. Remember to celebrate her life while I know you grieve. She is smiling down at all of you. Take care.

Always enjoyed visiting and seeing Mrs. Nelson when I can to visit Ralph while in high school and in recent years when other family memories wanted to see the house where Llewellyn Parks Winn lived. She was always welcoming and loved having everyone over She was a special lady.
