Sarah from DC, the last colony

Condolences to you and your family Sarah. It is hard to say that final goodbye but what you do for someone when they are with you can give you peace with her passing.

Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Sarah, my deepest sympathy to you and the family on the passing of your Mother, may she rest in peace.

Grieve and know you are not alone.

May G-D comfort you.

Hello Sarah, I just left the following comment on 'medium' for you but thought you may not go back and see it.
'Sarah, we went ashore each morning and afternoon and slept on the snow in sleeping bags one night.'

Check out the photos in my gallery as I put a few in there.

Thx. You were the first on the real day for sure.

, Sarah! Many good wishes to you!

Happy birthday Sarah! I hope your day is extra special!!

Hello Sarah, thank you for checking out my photos and glad you enjoyed them. It was a lovely holiday and different to usual as I got to meet up with Sudoku members, which made it special.

for the birthday wishes, Sarah! We had to cancel the celebration on ''the'' day because of that hideous wind. No one wanted to go out for fear of being blown away! We did make up for it on the weekend, though.
Thanks for thinking of me!

Thank you, Sarah!!! I'm now getting ready to see my son and his family. They promised a brunch and hopefully my other son and his family will make it!

, Sarah! Have another terrific trip around the sun!

Thank you, Sarah, for the birthday wishes in August! I had a very nice birthday this year. I hope all is well with you!

for your good wishes... have a very happy New Year... may you be healthy and that your wishes all come trough thank you

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Sarah, it's been a wonderful day and I haven't even headed out for dinner yet!

for the birthday wishes, Sarah.
I've had a very full day and it was wonderful.

On the ''second'' day of my Birthday, for the good wishes, Sarah!

Sarah, thank you for the birthday wishes! I had a great birthday weekend by going to the Indy 500 with friends. (We have gone there near or on my birthday almost every year since 1974! A BIG party, don't you think???)

Sarah, thank you for taking the time to check out my latest holiday photos. It was an amazing adventure, especially travelling so far in a small 'plane.

Sarah!
Make a wish and enjoy your day!

Even without capitals, it is obvious that your night must have been less than restful - hope there are helpers in your bldg. or nearby to aid in your needs for a while! I'm guessing you are not so limber this morning - what a revolting development this is!

Thank you, Sarah. I had a busy but lovely day on my birthday.

for the Birthday wishes, Sarah! The timing of my Birthday is fortuitous. Once Valentine's Day arrives, everyone says, ''Oh, ****! I forgot to send Judy a card!'' Thanks again.

Thank you so much, Sarah! I've become a hermit and this site and TOS keeps me in touch with wonderful friends like you! Doesn't feel so lonely anymore.

Hi Sarah, thanks for info! I hope I'm contacting you on the right page!!

I'm meeting 'Anne from Albany' on Friday! How exciting! We've been chatting on the phone and she sounds nice.

, Sarah! Have a terrific day and upcoming year! Thanks for all you mean to this site.

Sarah, enjoy your special day as much as you can.

A belated Sarah, so sorry I missed it. I hope you had a wonderful day.

Well done Sarah. That looks like a fairly exhaustive, if not exhausting, list.

Oops just noticed a duplicate - wreak, reak

OMG - it's wreak, reek

It was right the first time, wrong the second time.

Oh, goodness me, I just looked it up and reak is also a word! English is impossible.
