Monticello, AR Saturday, November 29, 2025 To the family of Mrs. Sarah, I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Sarah's passing. My late husband James (O'Neill) always spoke well of Mrs. Sarah & talked about what a hard worker she was.When I married Tony (Rawls) 9 years after James's death, Mrs. Sarah became my neighbor. I truly enjoyed knowing Mrs. Sarah; she was an interesting conversationalist and a very good neighbor. We have missed them since they moved away.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God bless you and give you the comfort and strength you need to get through this.🙏
