All you kids have our sympathies, she was such a delight to be around. We love you all so much, and would love for you all to come to the BEST family reunions; as all of your aunts & uncles did in the past, they really enjoyed it, and learned alot abt our ancestors. I just loved Sally, we seemed to have alot in common.
With all our love, and many sympathies, your loving cousin.
