Sally was a dedicated teacher and an inspiration to all who were fortunate to work with her. I counted Sally as a friend, too. She was always very gracious to everyone. She will be missed by this world for she made it a better place.

When we moved in next door and were greeted by Mack and Sally , we knew that we made the right choice because we had the best neighbors anyone could ask for. Sally loved her gardens and we loved sharing time with her and our children in her beautiful yard. We will miss her and know that her family will find the strength to go on together and know that they can always talk to her in her gardens.
Much Love, The Huzar Family
