One can only imagine the heartache felt by Sarah Hickling when her beloved husband William died.

William had referred to Sarah as his “darling girl”.

Apparently their togetherness didn’t end with William’s passing.

Sarah had stone chairs made to face the memorial she had erected in William’s honor.

She may have gazed at the nearby pond while visiting with her late husband on long summer afternoons.

One can only imagine.
