I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding and knowledge over Harry and all of her children, grandchildren, family, and friends. Sarra impacted the lives of everyone who met her. Until we meet again Sarra God speed.

I will miss so much about my sister , but I think what I will miss the most are her beautiful prayers. She had such a way to praise God in her prayers and it was wonderful to hear. Always made me feel so much better.
I know she will be missed by many but it’s comforting to know that many she has touched will continue to spread the word and love of Jesus Christ.

I Dianne, had the pleasure of serving with Sarra at Camp Gilead in 2020 and 2021. She was always ready to do any job like painting, washing windows, trimming trees, tending the burn pile, hauling the brush but her favorite was cleaning. I also remember Sarra standing in the middle of the dining hall with her arms wrapped around a couple of ladies praying for them.
I, Gilbert, remember Sarra for her great encouragement to all and for her prayers offered up in behalf of those who were struggling with illness or other problems. She truly was a spiritual weapon in the hands of God. Sarra worked very hard at Camp Cornerstone handling the ceramic tile and getting it ready for us to install. It was not an easy job because the tile was heavy and a lot of walking was required. God gave her strength to do that particular job. In doing that job she was a huge encouragement to all of us.
We had wonderful fellowship with Harry and Sarra over meals and in the playing of games. Her favorite game which she taught us was
Thirteen.
We often saw Sarra walking and playing with Ellie. She truly was a lover of animals.
Sarra was one of those people you just wanted to be around.
We will see her again in heaven!!!!!
