The family of the late Mrs. Sarah Avery Washington wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to each of you for your many acts of kindness shown during our time of sorrow. Words are inadequate to express our gratitude. Many thanks to Mrs. Washington's caregivers: Phyllis Scott, Kanika Stanford, Kenneth Sanders, I, Carmen Sanders, Sarah Whitaker, and Trinity Hospice. May God richly bless each of you.
A very special thanks to her nephew, Mr. Rufus H. Sanders, Jr. for your continued devotion, loyalty, and love as you cared for "Tao" during the last two years. We will never forget your commitment, selfless deeds and acts of kindness to our Aunt.
