We were so sorry to hear of the death of this lovely lady and we missed the services as we thought it was this coming Mon. Andy told me about it but did not see it in the paper until I checked here. We were so glad to get a chance to see you at Orchid Terrace last Spring. Our deepest sympathy.

I was so sorry to learn that Sally had passed away. Years ago, I worked for Sally as a housekeeper. I always enjoyed my day there. She and Chuck made me feel very comfortable in their home. I remember one year five days before Christmas, my son was getting married. Sally gave me the most beautiful dress as an early gift and it was just perfect for the wedding. I'll never forget her generosity. My condolences to Chuck, Mary and all her family and friends. Rest in Peace, Sally
