Not sure what to say?

I was saddened to hear of Sally's passing. I got to know her when I taught Ainsley at Northeast School.

So sorry to hear of Sally’s passing..It was always a bright spot in our day when she would stop in to shop or chat at Hickory Hollow Golf Range &Pro Shop and Gone Loco Train Shoppe..So appreciated her and Reeder’s support and friendship over the years..May they both Rest In Peace together now..

Words cannot express our sadness with the passing of Sally, she was one of the best. You may not have liked the medicine she gave you but it was out of love and affection that she did it. We will miss her spirit tremendously but the memories we’ve retained will serve us well. Rest In Peace Sally. We wish you well in your journey, tell the boys Joel love and we will meet again someday. All of our love.

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all. Her spirit will continue to shine through all of those who love her. Such a beautiful tribute to her.

Truly a shining light in so many lives. Sally filled the room with her beautiful smile and Infectious laugh. She was not only a high school cheerleader but the cheerleader of our class of '63. I was truly blessed to call her a friend. My sincere condolences to her family.
