Why can't people like Sara live forever. One of the smartest women I have ever known. We were her neighbors for 20 years. Our first meeting was her holding my head while my grand piano was carried up my front stairs. After it was done she said, "Come on now, let's have a bourbon. Alan and Sara were the heart of our neighborhood. Alan, our prayers are with you and your family. Love Billy and Brenda Manucy

Sara will surely be missed. She was such a great person. I loved her no nonsense to the point advice, whether you liked it or not, and her quick wit. She was truly one of a kind and loved all her family. I know she will be looking down with great pride as her grandchildren do great things in life!

Sara was one special lady. She was a leader, teacher, mentor, and my friend. She changed the lives of thousands of students and she changed my life too. She taught me how to become a better teacher and a better person. We have known each other for 40 years and there has never really been a dull moment. Oh the stories I could tell. I love her and will miss her. I pray for God’s comfort to the family that I also love so much.

Allan and family, My deepest condolences to all of you. Mrs Sara was the sweetest of sweets. As longtime neighbors on Tybee, she was always friendly and inviting. My girls would love to go over and sit with her on the porch and get treats from her. Please know I think of you all often and how special and loving you both were to my family during that time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. God Bless Lori Ryan (ward)

What beautiful, fun-filled memories we have with Sara--Cicinnati, 1988, Washington,1993 (Judy's car wouldn't start), numerous visits at Tybee. She was a mentor to many future mentors. Fly high Sara! Eat well and wear elastic waists.

Allan, Tracy and Brad, I am so sorry to hear of Sara Floyd’s passing. It has been many years since last I saw her which was at my brother, Leslie Jr., and wife, Annette’s 50th wedding anniversary. I was the little cousin who lived next door. I and Ann (Rackley Cline) were in your wedding. There are not many left of the Haeseler family; those of us first cousins left are in Georgia and Texas. My heart goes out to you and know how much you will feel her loss. Sara is forever in our hearts. Sending much love. Cheryl
- Cheryl Jenkins Cato, first cousin, Bastrop, Texas
So sad to hear this. She was a wonderful person who took my daughter (Judy) under her wing and made her a very successful teacher. I credit her success to Sarah's mentoring and love. She will be missed by many.
