Our condolences to the family, may she Rest In Peace.
My mother knew the Crixell family and my sister Catalina attended Villa Maria and also knew the girls. Prayers for the family, May Our Good Lord give all of you the peace and comfort you may need.

Condolences sent to Emilio Crixell and family on the heavenly departure of their sister, Sarah. God has called another angel home too soon.
Sincerest condolences to the entire Crixell family. I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Sarah and she was a treasure. She was my late brother’s teacher years ago but still remembered him because she held all her students in her heart. Her memory will live in our hearts and for her family I pray these memories provide loving comfort as the years go by.
God has set her place at His table and welcomed her home.
