Thanks for all you have done for the women and families that needed the extra help and someone to believe in them. I am especially grateful for the care and guidance you provided my daughter under your watch and helped her grow in her profession. The gifts you so freely have given will live on and your will always be remembered. Your presence will be missed.

Sally was a humble and loving woman, with a heart of commitment to family, both her own and all of us who loved her. She was funny, and kind, powerful and gentle, and an amazing cook. Her capacity to nurture and support were just a small piece of what made knowing her such a privilege. She fed my toddler son candy when I wasn't looking, and loved to laugh as she recalled this to me years later. My life,is better for having known her. My sheroe.

When Bob passed,Sally would come to our house with a fresh baguette and a stick of butter at least once a week. We would tear it apart and laugh and remember. Now we will carry on the tradition. Missed and loved.
