What a beautiful summary of a life well lived! We all loved Sally and she will be greatly missed!
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Sally was a terrific lady. I'll remember her kindness to me as a child always. It meant a lot.

Aunt Sally had a love of life and family we should all aspire to.
God bless you and keep you.

Aunt Sally was a true life force. She lit up the room whenever she entered it. She always had a ton of positive energy and was a joy to be with. We already miss her.
