Sally was such a special friend from the 7th grade through the 12th. I admired her brains, wit and talent. She had a unique way of making me giggle almost uncontrollably during the most serious moments in so many classes. The numerous speech and debate tournaments near and far were always more fun when Sally was a part of it all and she shined in that category also. It was a blessing to reconnect a few years back and then to be together at our 40 year class reunion. I remember her accompanying Mr. Keenan to my Dad's 90th birthday party. Our time together made me very thankful for the friends God had blessed me with, Sally being at the top of the list. She will be missed and I pray the Lord will comfort and sustain her children, parents and Joanie. Much love, Patricia Smith
