Sally Simmons Obituary

SALLY JO SIMMONS FEB 19, 1975 - AUG 26, 2009 Sally Jo went to join the Lord, Wednesday, August 26, 2009, at the age of 34. Sally was born in Modesto, CA to Barbara Bartlett and Joseph Simmons.

Sally was a member of the Empire Church of Christ. She was a very loving and generous person to all who knew and cared for her. She was also a very beautiful woman inside and out. She will be dearly missed by so many, but as we walk here on Earth, we are reassured we will be with Sally again someday in Heaven.

Dear Family of Sally Jo Simmons, Please accept my condolences on the recent death of your beloved Sally Jo. A few words especially to Sally Jo's parents: I relate to your grief for I, also, am a bereaved parent, having suddenly lost my daughter, Melinda Rose Silva, @ age 28, on 1/6/05. And, so, I extend to you special bereaved parent condolences for the difficult lifelong deep grief journey you are now traveling.
I write, also, to let you know that I and several other area bereaved parents have recently formed the Modesto/Riverbank Area Chapter of The Compassionate Friends, a non-profit grief support group for parents, grandparents & adult (over 18) siblings who have experienced the death of a child of any age due to any cause at any time. We will hold our next grief support meeting on Thursday, September 10th, @ 7pm @ the Community CASA, 2201 Morrill Rd. (NE Corner @ Oakdale Rd.), Riverbank.
You are invited to join us on the 10th (or thereafter on the second Thursday of the month, same time, same place); no pre-registration is necessary. Probably of particular interest to Sally Jo's siblings is that we have a Sibling Group as part of our Chapter and, at our September 10th meeting, we'll provide the opportunity for a separate Sibling Sharing Session. .
If you would like more information or "just to talk", perhaps about the specialness of Sally Jo, you are invited to contact me, Joanna Rose-Murray, @ 209-484-8276 and/or @ [email protected]. My prayers and healing thoughts are with you during this very difficult time of your deep grief journey.
May you experience some blessings along the way, Joanna
