[NFBWV-Talk] For those who knew her.

[Smyth, Charlene R]

I want to thank Karen Swauger for sharing the below obituary for Sarah Cheshire:



My memories:  I remember Sarah as a daytime houseparent at different times for both the little girls and then for the little boys.  Some say they remember her working as a cook and later as a night houseparent.  I really liked her and admired her for how she interacted with the little kids and took them outside to play.
