This is the link to the obituary for Sarah Davison. Sarah's dedication to girls sports in Granville was like non-other. We're grateful for all Sarah and Tim did to support our girls, all of the teams before, during after our girls played. She set a beautiful example and provided love, care and cookies that mattered and made a difference.  Rest in Peace Sarah.

This is the link for Linda Dimon's obituary. Linda had a direct impact on me, by being welcoming and encouraging. She was always happy to see me and made me feel welcome. She encouraged my work at The Works and then beyond. She too set an example for the world, leaving a legacy and the world a better place.  She will be missed.  How can she be gone?  Prayers for those close to her, her family. Steve also always makes me smile...what a gift.

The beautiful sentiment "May Her Memory be a Blessing" comes to mind here for both of these women.

I'm not Jewish, but value and benefit from Jewish lessons and faith- Blessings of Skinned Knee example in our life on Newark-Granville Road...I found this article by Sharrona Pearl to help me apply it today: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/community/articles/may-their-memory-be-for-a-blessing

Make someone feel seen, loved, affirmed, welcome today to honor these women, I will. And those that do so to me, thank you. Thank you Linda and Sarah for lives well lived. Your memory is a blessing, as was your life on Newark-Granville Road.  Thank you for living your faith and being truly philanthropic. You used the resources you had at your fingertips to make the world a better place (Melinda Gates), it worked!
