    Sara B. Edgar
   
   ODESSA  Some  people go their whole lives and never know what love is,
   but  Sara  B.  Edgar is not one of them. She had many people who loved
   her, family and her special friends. Her husband Len stood by her from
   June 20, 1948, until Aug. 22, 2000, her final victorious end.
   
   Her life began Dec. 15, 1926, in Pittsburg to Nota Dean and Jack Boyd,
   and  she  had  special  memories of her daughters, Karen and Ruth, and
   their  husbands,  Jay  and  Charlie.  But  the joy of her life was her
   granddaughter, Shannon, who she loved beyond all things.
   
   The  lives  she touched, the hearts that held her close, she was truly
   one of Gods angels. To us, this woman wasnt just a loving wife, mother
   and friend, she was someone who always had a smile and a heart-warming
   love  to  share.  This woman, this wonderful woman, was my grandmother
   and  my  friend.  I will miss her more than words can say. Now, heaven
   has  the  privilege  of knowing her, and she will always remain in our
   hearts,  in  our mind and in our spirits as the woman with the biggest
   heart of anyone we have or will ever know. We love you, grandmommy.
   
   Interment  will  be  at  9  a.m.  Thursday,  Aug.  24, 2000, at Sunset
   Memorial Gardens officiated by Dr. Steve Trout, senior pastor of First
   United Methodist Church.
   
   Services are under the care of Sunset Memorial Funeral Home.
