My Aunt Sally,
"For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me." Philippians 1:7

Sally, you led your family to faith. You were our spiritual guidance, whether summonsed or by example.

You smiled through pain or grief, and showed these young girls how to find joy in the LORD, whom you always maintained belief.
God Bless you Aunt Sally, my most incredibly talented, Great Aunt.
The Lord has welcomed you with open arms, for your worldly acts well spent.
In life and death, you've dedicated your soul, to the Word and the Truth and the Three.
God bless that soul, she deserves all that's GOLD, on the streets, with my LORD, REST IN PEACE.
I will see you in heaven and I love you so much,
Mary Beth

A truly inspirational person. We will cherish the special memories we have. I will never forget creating my own thoughts to one of kind poems, making my very own poem book with my sisters and a very special "great" aunt, for more reasons than one. We will miss you but know that heaven rejoices now.

Sally,

Where do I start? Some of my earliest, and fondest memories are with you. Your positive energy and smile are two of the things I'll always appreciate about you. The nights Lisa, Mary Beth and I would come down to your house, staying up late (9pm) and playing yatzy, progressive rummy or working on poetry books with you will forever be special to me. I am grateful for the time I got with you when I moved back to GA. You always wanted me to know you loved me, no matter what, and I did. You even said exactly that just to make sure I was clear on it. You were kind to any and everyone. Thank you for the role model you were. Thank you for your generosity to not only your family, but to many others as well. I love you, I miss you and I will never ever forget you.

Love,

Rebecca

Sally was a sincere and honest friend. She was a breath of fresh air! Her passion for Jesus, poetry and encouraging people is what I admire most. I've known Sally for about 17 years and even though I may not have seen her often during the last decade of those years, we could pick up wherever we left off. I'm very thankful that I could see her before she passed away. I will treasure that memory. Live on, Sally! See you again someday :)

Dear sweet Sally, I miss you so much, but am so happy that your journey is now complete. You are with Our Heavenly Father, and with your beloved husband George, and with your parents and siblings, and with so many others who were anxiously awaiting to welcome you. I can only imagine how happy you are, healthy and strong. You touched so many lives, and I am so blessed God brought us together. I will miss our chats. Until we meet again. With all my love, Suzanne
