Another loss in 2023…on December 27, 2023, just before midnight, I just found my childhood friend Sara Morgan Wade died after a short battle with cancer. I am on the end in this photo and Sara is the little girl second from the left with short dark brown hair. We reunited in the early 2000s and sent emails to one another every day. We became close as adults and it was like we were never apart. We sent emails to one another every day and learned so much about one another’s lives.
Mark wrote me the following on December 28, 2023:
Sara’s mother Lila is still with us. She has been living with us for the past year.
Sara had gone into urgent care for what we thought was an asthma attack and came out with stage 4 lung cancer. That was on October 6 of this year.
Much to fast and way too soon
Below are several photos of Sara that will help keep her memory alive.
