Not sure what to say?

Sally always showed compassion for those in need, and deep caring for those in her inner circle. No team event went unnoticed without a "Sally touch," from the personal preferences for breakfast (bagels, yogurt) to the handmade Christmas stockings for each of us.

Her passions were legendary - family, friends, Simba, Agassi. The depths of her passion and the caring she showered on us will be greatly missed.

I've been traveling in Southeast Asia, and just learned of Sally's homegoing earlier this month. She was a joy to be around, and I will miss her visits in the Arlington Verizon office. She's the only other person I knew working that late!

She's in God's arms now, and may His loving presence comfort those she left behind.

I got to know Sally over the year and a half I lived in Arlington during the merger. Needless to say, she was indispensable in caring for me when I knew so few people. She would often tell me "I don't normally do this for anyone, but for you I'll make an exception". But even more than the kindness she showed me at work, I am grateful that I got to know Sally on a personal level. Even when I moved back to Philly, we would speak now and then to catch up with each other. She is one of the...

Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of Sally. She was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed.

I got to know Sally in 2000 when we were setting up a new organization after the merger. Although Sally was based in Arlington, she generously offered to come up and help me set up office space and get organized. I did not take her up on it but was enormously grateful for the offer and knew if I needed her, she would be there in a flash. Whenever we came to Arlington, she lavished us with southern hospitality, and gave us thoughtful, original gifts that I treasure. But my real bond with...

Joe and I are deeply saddened by Sally's passing. On her last day at the office before going to the hospital, Sally reviewed with me all that I would need to do in her absence. At one point she said, "What are you going to do without me?"

She also sent me a card that I received on July 6. The inscription on the card says "Gratitude is the memory of the heart." I am grateful for Sally's support over the years, for her care and concern for others, for her sense of social...

Sally,

Although we didn't know each other from working on shared projects, I feel I know the kind of person you were just by the energy I felt whenever we passed in the halls of 1310. Your upbeat attitude and friendliness were so refreshing. The speed in which you were always moving made me think you were probably someone who could pack 36 hours into a 24-hour day.

May you rest in eternal peace, Sally, and may those who loved you and knew you well find peace in their...

I deeply sadden by the lost of Sally Cox. She was a wonderful person to work with -always willing to give a helping hand. She will be missed.

Thank you,.

I only knew Sally for the last two years, but her memory will be with me forever. She gave us all the gift of kindness and thoughtfulness for which I am very grateful. The day I learned about her passing, a tennis match was on TV. I said I bet Sally is watching, from a different place, but she is watching. We often talked about Michelle Kwan and perhaps going to the World’s Ice Skating Competition next year, but only if Kwan would be there. I know we will be watching it together even if...
