Sally was my best friend through grade school and high school and continued our friendship till the present. Sally had a great sense of humor and was admired by many. She had a beautiful soprano voice and had many requests to sing on various occasions . She had many, many years of perfect attendance at church and loved her Lord. I will miss her but I'll see her again "up there".

I was so sad to hear of Mrs. Dawson's passing. I know she meant the world to you both. During the years I spent coming and going from your home, she meant very much to me as well. I will remember her fondly and look forward to meeting her again at Heaven's Gate. My love and prayers are with you both.
