I didn't know her very well, but I do know that she gave cancer one courageous battle!!! I also know she had a crazy sense of humor that she handed down to her son Jesse (my son-in-law) and for that I am very grateful. He is the son I never had! I can never pretend to take her place in his life but I will love him for her until we see her again!!!

I am sorry to read about Sally's passing in today's newspaper. Sally was among those who welcomed me to the Faith Lutheran Church community over seven years ago. She inspired me to make friends and to get involved with the various activities at our church ever since that time. I am grateful for her example and friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sally's family and her friends.

This is such a shock. We were together all the time in grade school. You could hear the moans of teachers when they had us both in class! So much fun! We rode bikes everywhere, especially to Byrnes Park. My prayers and thoughts are with all the family! Thanks for good memories!
