I am also a Radiology Technologist. I worked with Sara Jane in Beaumont. She was working for a Radiologist. I worked in the building next door. I saw her daily when I took x-rays to be read. We became good friends. I later found out she new my oldest sister, Wanda. They went all through school together. Sara Jane knew my parents too.  We have often been in touch on Facebook. I was saddened to learn of her death this past week. She will be missed.

So sorry to learn of my sweet cousin’s passing. She was such a sweetheart. Many fond family memories.

I had known your Mom since we moved to Washington Street in 1965.  Remember Rene as a toddler with Buddy  and later Matt . Always loved your Mom and Dad. Your Dad was so kind and very quiet and then Sarah Jane— loved her— she always spoke her mind, a person after my own heart!  Loved being around her as she liked the outdoors and knew so much about everything.  Sending my love to Rene and Matt and families.

My condolences to the family. 

Thomas Murphree (first cousin)

I am so very sad to hear of Sarah Jane's passing.   My memories of her cover many years.  When the LaBordes moved to Vidor my parents bought the Beaumont house Sarah grew up in so we both grew up in the same house at different times.  We had many conversations about our Edwin Street experiences. Among my earliest memories was of the pretty girl and her future husband (Bobby) coming over for my dad to take pictures.  It was years later when I really got to know Sarah.  She was always so loving to my mother and kept in regular contact with her over the years.  Her visits were always so appreciated.  I still have the beautiful lighted church Sarah gave to her one Christmas.  It will have special meaning for me this Christmas.  Sarah Jane was a wonderful person and I feel very fortunate to have known her.  I know how much her family will miss her.  Much love to all.                                     Jo (Woods) Latimer

Your Mom, has been a friend since grade school. We had just starting to visit again and going to eat a few years back! This was a shock to me! She will always be in my memories! Loved her dearly and a very special lady. We shared our love for cats! May God’s blessings be with all of you!

Sarah, you can catch Deanna up on all the news she's missed these past seven years.  I'm so sorry I didn't visit you all in Vidor more often.

Dear Renee,Matt & family, your mom was the true meaning of friend! I was blessed to know & love Sarah for 50+years. She & I rode to work many days together with our Terri in the back seat! We always had fun together . We shared so many wonderful memories! I will love & miss her so much. So sad for both you & Matt . GOD BLESS! LU Glenda

Sarah was one of a kind! We shared so many great times. Just had to make sure and not sit next to her in a theater if a scary scene came up!  She truly was a great "Aunt" to so many people!
 She and I had been friends for almost 60 years and that just doesn't come around very often. My heartfelt feelings go out to Matt and Renee and family.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know how much you will miss her!  She was so proud of her children. My love to both of you.

My sweet, caring and funny Aunt Jane I will miss talking, texting and sharing fb posts with you!! You were my second Mom. I could talk to you about anything with no judgement....you always called in my Birthday to sing it to me. You never missed my children or grandchildren’s Birthdays.  You laugh was music to my ears.....I will miss you dearly. You are one of a kind.....till I see you again please know that you are missed dearly ❤️ Love, Charmayne
