I DID NOT DIE--
DO NOT STAND ON MY GRAVE AND WEEP-I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP. I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW,I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS IN THE SNOW. I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN, I AM A GENTLE AUTUMNS RAIN.WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING HUSH, I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH. I AM THE BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT. I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT. SO DO NOT STAND ON MY GRAVE AND CRY I AM NOT THERE---I DID NOT DIE!! SHE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU TIM-EVERYDAY YOU WILL SEE SOMETHING, HEAR SOMETHING OR SMELL SOMETHING THAT REMINDS YOU OF HER.

Tim, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Sallie, but by reading over the other entries, I know she was a remarkable person who will be greatly missed by so many people. I am a Raleigh native and I am guessing that David is your brother who married Mindy. Mindy was my best friend in high school and unfortunately, we have lost touch with each other. Please let her know that I am thinking of her and would desperately like to catch up with her. I know Mindy and David's 2 daughters will miss their aunt Sallie terribly. Mindy, if you get this message, please contact me at [email protected]. I would really like to hear from you.

Everytime my wife gets into her State car going to visit a client I say a short silent prayer for her safe return. Now that prayer also includes words that pray that you find peace somehow,someday.

Once in a rare while in life,one has the great fortune of meeting someone like Sallie.I was truly blessed 12 yrs. ago when she came into my life.She was an absolute ray of golden sunshine.So genuinely kind,compassionate,and caring.We shared many hours talking and
laughing,mostly about our pets.I loved hearing of all her & Tim*s plans for restoring the house in Angier,which now stand as a beautiful testimony of their love,dedication and hard work.
Her tragedic death has broken my heart.She was once an Angel on earth.Now an Angel in Heaven.
Tim,you and all of your family,friends, neighbors and all of Sallie*s friends and co-workers have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy.You will be remembered in my prayers.

I have known Sallie for 6 years and worked in the same Division (ASD) at NCDOI. I am proud to be able to call Sallie a colleague but more importantly I am proud to call Sallie a friend. I am saddened by this tremendous loss and can not make sense of why this happened. 2 weeks ago Sallie was in my office and we were laughing and joking so thankfully that is what I will remember - how she LIVED. Tim, I can only say that I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that the memories of Sallie will always bring a smile and keep her alive in your heart. Angela (NCDOI)

I had the privilege to meet Sallie through her dear friends Karen and Sabrina. Words cannot express the depth of this loss. Sallie was a constant source of strength and support for those she cared about and could light up a room with just her presence. She was an angel here on earth and will continue to shine down on all those she left behind.

Tim and Sallie's family,
I only knew Sallie through an audit she was involved in with our insurance agency, but I found her to be very friendly and professional.
There were some items we were not doing correctly, but rather than "beating up" on us, she taught me what I should be doing. In fact, after she completed our audit, she mailed me some examples of what we should be doing to be in compliance with the Department of Insurance.
I feel really touched by what has happened to her and feel she really has a place in heaven.
I am so sorry we have loss such a special person.

I met Sallie and Tim in March at my cousin's house after hearing about them for years, what fun people they were, how very special she was. They more than lived up to their billing! She was my cousin's best friend since childhood. She was fun, loved animals, a spunky gal with a quick wit, and I knew after that night that I had a new friend and was going to know her for a long time. Sadly, this is not to be. My heart aches for Sallie's husband and his family, for my cousin and her family, and for every life that Sallie touched. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

We loved her. We just met Sallie about 3 years ago, but it seemed like she had been our friend for years. It is so hard to lose such a good person. Tim, you will be in our thoughts and prayers for the difficult times ahead. We have lost a dear and genuine friend and we will miss her forever. Jeff & Susan West, West Insurance Agency.

Sallie and I have known each other since we were very very small kids. We have shared the best of times and the worst of times with each other. We have shared so many many things throughout our lives and she was ALWAYS there no matter what. I personally can not put into words how much pain and sadness and anger this has left me with. I have lost a part of my life which will forever be empty. I hope one day I will find the faith and strength to move forward. It is true that she is an angel with God and will always live in our memories. My thoughts and prayers will stay strong for Tim and all those that knew her and loved her. I will always love you Blondie
