I am so sorry for your loss--we can all hear her voice even now (worked with her at Century). Her laugh was so very contagious--just know we all loved her very much.

I grew up with your Mom in Clairton. We shared some great, happy, crazy and sad times together. My sympathy to all of you. I now leave in Butler and read of Sally's passing.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sally was a great person and her laugh lit up a room. We worked together at Century Bank, and I valued her friendship. Keep her memory alive for all her beautiful and treasured grandchildren. They will miss her in their lives, as you all will.

Candy, Carlene and Eric, I can't put into words my deepest thoughts, but I want you all to know what a great friend your mother was to me. I am so very sorry that I can't be there for all of you and to say "so long" to a very special lady. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I am in total shock. When I last spoke with Sally she was doing great and looking forward to golf season and my next trip in from Iowa. Cherish all those memories and please let me know if there is ever anything I can do. With loving thoughts, Gail

I am so sorry to hear of your passing. We had so many fun times on our cruises and dancing to Carlene's band. Your family and friends are all going to have a large hole in their lives without you. You were so proud of your family. When we went on our first cruise you couldn't wait to tell them all about it and wished so much they could be there. You were so proud of Eric and when he graduated you were bursting with joy. Candy was your baby and always there for you. Carlene was so much like you and you both had a close friendship that can't duplicated. Those beautiful grandkids were especially a delight to you. All of you should know just how much she did love you.
