My grandma Sally was one of a kind. I feel as if a piece of our family is missing and that piece is her. One day we'll all be reunited with her. I pray that as she is watching down on us that she helps my mother and her brothers and sisters and all of us through this process of losing a loved one. I'm glad to know that she is no longer suffering. I miss you grandma.

Sally was a favorite when she worked for Parker: she would always win hearts with her smile! Great memories of her many stories of family & friends. Truely one of the Blessed!

I am so sad that I cannot be there with all of the family to pay my respects. My prayers are with you all. I am happy though that I was able to see Aunt Sally before she went to be with the Lord. She seemed pretty happy to know that I could finally make tortillas. And boy did she love Yolandas chocolate cake. It was touching to see her in good spirits. I also remember going to her house as a child and having so much fun in her backyard with her little farm. I will miss you very much Aunt Sally.
