As was previously reported in the Banner, a single vehicle crash on April 1 on State Highway 106 near Calkins Road in the Town of Palmyra claimed the lives of both occupants of the vehicle.

One of those who perished was Sara Nowak, 42, of Palmyra, who about five hours earlier had attended the funeral of her husband Louis, who died of cancer on March 19. According to CBS affiliate WDJT-TV, Nowak’s mother, Patricia Cartwight, said of her daughter’s relationship with her husband of nearly six years, “I don’t think she could be without him. So, she is with him.”

As a friend put it in a message on a GoFundMe page set up to support the couple’s family of six children, “Sara went to visit Louis in heaven.“

The story has been picked up by various media including People magazine and The Daily Mail of the United Kingdom.

According to the Daily Jefferson County Union, the driver of the vehicle was Brian Remmel, 62, of Palmyra.
