It was honor to know your mother and father. They always were so gracious to me. Knowing Sal and Elsie makes it possible for me to fully understand why their children whom I have met over the years are wonderful people as well. With sympathy at this most difficult time, I wish you many years of beautiful memories of them. Walter Boright

Our condolences. She will be greatly missed but will cherish the fond moments we had together. A role model to humanity. A humble, loving strong Woman and yes her sense of humor. She left this life physically but will always be with me in my fond memories.
