When I think of Sally I always remember the good times we had at North Beacon St. I remember when Sally had the school van how we would take off in the morning and go shopping. I remember how many laughs we had the time we were painting moms kitchen and ended up painting Big Lynn. I remember the time I was hanging the light fixture and got stuck to the ceiling with crazy glue and your mom knew just what to do to get me loose. I have so many fond memories of your mom, we both had our own problems but when we got together we would always end up laughing. I always felt that I was very lucky to of had a close friend like your mother at that time of my life. Whenever my family is together and we're talking about old times your mom is always thought of. She will always be remembered by me and my family.
Love you both Mrs. Willey

I really enjoyed the pictures of your mom I have so many found memories of her. Growing up I always considered her my 2nd mother. We were very lucky to grow up in a close environment we weren't just friends we were exstended families. Your moms door was always open to my family, whether we were hanging in the living room, or asking for help with homework. I will always remember your mothers xmas paintings in the hall windows snd how we loved watching her paint them. I will always remember the many holidays we celebrated together Christmas, Thansgiving and our big 4th of July cookouts., and how could I forget the many times your mom spent in my kitchen chatting and smoking with my mother and everyone else in the building, and how they always kicked us kids of the room.
We always knew the good weather was coming when we would see your mother laying in the sun reading her book. As I got older I always enjoyed seeing your mom in the bank or walking thru Brighton Center so I could get caught up on all the dirt ha ha I will never forget your mother she will always have a special place in my heart. Love you both Carol

John:

Although, I never met your Mom, she and I were engaged in many wonderful conversations via telephone when you were unavailable due to BC events.

My heart breaks for you as you wander through these dark days, however, the beautiful memories will eventfully give you strength and acceptance.

Please know that you are in my thought and prayer.

What sad news we received today here in Ireland when we heard that Sally had passed away. We are in shock.My son Jason is very upset as he has such fond memories of Sally and why wouldn't he when she spoilt him so much! Not a holiday went by during the year that Sally didn't have something for him! The same goes for our other son Zachary when he arrived on the scene.Going down to Sallys house was always a treat especially when it was holiday time and Sally had decorated. That was some sight to see and just last month Jason talked about how great Sallys house would look at Halloween and how in awe of it he was and at the same time scared out of his wits! I think Johnny had some part to play in the scaring him bit!! Linda and Johnny my heart breaks for you both as I am well aware of the huge loss this is for you both. We will be thinking of you both and hoping you both stay strong... with lots of love from Billy Myra Jason and Zachary Browne. Co. Galway, Ireland
