Some of my fondest memories of Sara were the years we all camped together so many years ago. We both have lost our best friends, you lost Sara, Louise lost Elton and I lost Kenneth. Those were one of the happiest times of our lives especially around the camp fire singing Christian  songs and planning our next meal. I share your loneliness with loosing Sara but we will see our loved ones again and I think it won’t be very long. Grateful for all the years of fellowship.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Sarah’s passing. I pray God will give comfort to you and the family. I remember how you and Aunt Sarah were so kind to mom and us children after dad passed away.  Ya’ll would take us places and spend time with us. Ida Cason Gardens for one. I also remember that you and. aunt Sarah came to my first football game the first time I played in the band. That was so thoughtful. Sorry I haven’t been able to spend a lot of time with you but you are in my thoughts and prayers.God bless and keep you and your family. 

                                         Much love,
                                           Your niece Pat Smith Lucas

My prayers and condolances to Mr. William and family. I will always remember Mrs. Sarah as my loving Jackson neighbor and a beautiful person inside and out. She was such a special lady and now has her rewards. Praying for you all.

We dearly love Sarah and William Smith!  I have so many wonderful memories of going to church with Sarah and William at East Atlanta Church of God and Rainbow Church of God.  We also went camping with them and my Dear Mother, Irene Purcell and Kenneth Purcell and we always had a Great time!  Our daughter, Lauren loved going camping with them all also.  We all had been praying for Sarah’s healing, but God had bigger plans for her and I know she is having an awesome time with Jesus & her friends in Heaven and she would not want to come back to this earth again!  William, Mike and Ken and your families are in our prayers and we know God will comfort you all during this time!  We can’t wait to meet Sarah and all of our loved ones in Heaven soon!!

We Love You All!!

Ms Sarah was a perfect picture of godliness to me. We shared many wonderful days of worship and she will always hold a special honor in my memory.

I will be in prayer for all of you and would be there were it not for having had surgery this week. My heart will be there though.
In Christ’s love to you all,
Katrina Smith

Sister Sarah was ALWAYS a joy to be around. She ALWAYS had such a radiant glow on her face. I never heard a negative word come out of the lips of her mouth. She was always full of positivity. 
And when you seen William, you always seen Sarah. They were literally a match made in Heaven. My prayers will be with the entire Smith family for Gods peace and comfort to encamp around them and that God will fill the void for William, and all the children and grandchildren of Sarah.
Take joy in knowing that she is in the presence of Jehovah, as a new and HEALED being.
May God Bless you William, Ken, Betsy, Jordan, Logan, Landon, and the rest of the family. 
                       Sincerely,

           Gene, Lisa, & Seth Derline 

Oh how we loved this sweet woman always smiling and giving hugs I know y’all will see her again and we will too! Nancy and Ed Sanders

Was so sorry to hear of Aunt Sarah's passing. She was a sweet, humble soul and I know she is enjoying the beauty of Heaven now. May God bless and comfort the family at this sad time.

William, Ken, Mike and family we both send our love and prayers to you all. We have such wonderful memories of East Atlanta Church, the wonderful bowling league with you and Sarah and working  with you and Elton.  We loved Sarah, her smile, laughter and love for God. We know she will be truly missed but we know she is in the presence of the Lord having so much fun with her family that’s gone on before her. She is also rejoicing with Elton Pridgen and Kenneth Burnette. What a day we have to look forward to. Love and prayers ... David and a Teresa Garmon🙏❤️

Deepest Sympathy and love for Sarah's family and friends.

Sarah was a joy to know and be with. There was no doubt that her family and friends knew that some day she would wake up in Heaven. She had a beautiful smile and a sweet spirit. I hope she will find  my sweetheart at some point,  but at this point Jesus is the only face she wants to see. William, I am so sorry for your loss. We both have the promise that we will see them again. 

Sister Sarah Smith will always hold a special place in my heart... Her contagious smile & laughter, her caring, compassion  & love for everyone she came in contact with... I'm very honored to have been blessed with her friendship &  Godly example to be led by...  Sister  Sarah, thank you for being such a wonderful example of Christ... I will be forever grateful of the amazing life of Christ that you lived daily...  Rest high on that mountain & enjoy singing with the Angels...  Sister Sarah, you're greatly missed...  David Brumlow💙

Sarah and William were very dear to me from my teens to twenties. As fellow members of East Atlanta/Rainbow Church of God, our families were close. I spent many wonderful Sunday afternoons at their house and always felt right at home. William's brother, Arthur, was my first pastor. The Smith family has been a blessing to me and my family in more ways than I can count. We will see you again, Sarah.

Ken, Mike and family, just know you are in our prayers and loved.
We spent many camping adventures together with your mom and dad and had a blast! Such good memories to keep alive!
I know she and Kenneth Burnette and Kenneth Purcell and Gladys are having the time of their life in Glory! Soon and very soon we shall be with Sarah and all our loved ones too!
Mom and Dad wish they could come but hard for Dad and mom to get around walking. They send there love and prayers for you all during this time. Love, The Harnes and The Rogers family!
