Peelie (Christie) and David,
You known that I am very sad at the passing of your Mother.
I have known your Mom since we were all children in Kent, Ohio, and while I've been in Oklahoma these past 7 years I had the opportunity to see Sally often when she came for Thanksgiving or other holdiays. I always enjoyed talking to her and felt like I was with family when I saw her. If I called and Christie was out, I would stay on the phone with Sallie just talking, laughing, and catching up.
Sallie was a very intelligent, classy woman. She definately had a flare for style and a flare to live life to its fullest. I know she loved you both and loved her grandchildren dearly. Spending time with both of you and your children were what really made her happy.
I know that she was very brave and diginified through this difficult time. And I know that she was glad to have both of you so close to her. I am so glad that I was able to see her twice in the weeks preceeding he passing. I will really miss her.
When I think of your Mom she brings a smile to my face. I know she is at rest and I know that we will all be together again one day on the other side. Until then, I know she is watching out over both of you and your families.
Love to you Peel and David - you are my sister and brother.
Love you always.
