John and Marie
I am so sorry to hear of your loss , but what a wonderful life ,
It has been a life time since I would deliver papers to your parents house and on Fridays when I would sit in the kitchen and have some cookies and chat with your Mom and then have your Dad come home , he must have thought , What is he doing here again !!
But they were both the most kind, gentile and generous people.
I have thought about them both over the years
Please accept my condolences

I am sorry to read of your loss. I worked with Sally at Bruce Pharmacy in Warrendale more than 25 years ago. Sally always had a full smile and HAPPY outlook. She made a long day at work more enjoyable.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the loving family of Sally. The loving devotion of Sally's family to keep her spirits up during her confinement was an inspiration to be admired. We are so sorry for your loss. We will always remember Sally's cheerfulness and, of course, her Irish bread which was always most welcomed. With love and sympathy, Joan and Ron Vincent
