My condolences to Sally's family on their great loss. Sally was a caring straight forward person and we will all miss her. She maintained a wonderful legacy at the Soaring School. For all who entered the door there it was like going to a neghbors house.

My condolences go out to the Lese and Schweizer families. I worked with Sally and I have to say she was one of the most down to earth people I know. She could always lighten up a moment or stand by you when needed. She always made time for you even if her plate was full. I'm truly going to miss her. May she rest in peace.

We had the greatest respect for her and will miss her generous nature, sharing ways, and her remarkable ability to unconditionally love those who surrounded her. Her memory remains with us, always.

Sally was definitely the guiding light in our department and to anyone who came to her with a problem. She knew not only her stuff but most others and was always quick to help out.She was an integral part and I'm sure it will be all we can do to measure up to even a portion of her work ethics and dedication. I wish her family the faith and courage to think of how wonderful it was to have had her in your lives just as we do here at Schweizers.

My deepest sympathies to the Lese and Schweizer families. Although I did not work directly with Sally she was always known to have a kind word when someone was in need. She was devoted to her job but nothing was more precious than her family. She will be missed.

Everyone who worked with Sally knew she was simply the best at her job. For those who had the privilege of knowing Sally personally, we all know how proud and passionate she was about her family. If she was having a bad day, all you had to do was ask, “How are your grandkids doing?” Suddenly, everything was better and there was a smile on her face. You might as well have a seat because this conversation was going to last awhile…she loved to brag about her grandchildren. She was a friend who will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lese and Schweizer families.

There was no greater person to work with than with Sally. She had a unique sense of humor that I greatly appreciated and she truly was the "mama" figure. I find myself daily using cliches and saying that came courtesy of Sally (give it the ol college try!) It makes me smile thinking that she is still probably taking charge and running things in the way that only Sally can.
She will GREATLY be missed! My thoughts are especially with Shelby & the rest of the family. Although I didn't know you, you must know she loved you, as she spoke of you all the time.
She was a fantastic woman and a wonderful mentor.
