I am so sorry for your loss. She was the sweetest woman with kind words for all. In the 70s I got to know Sally and Joe as a friends of my in-laws. Sally and Liz met for lunch on almost a weekly basis for many, many years. Several of those times I was invited to join them. Sally was gracious to invite my sons and myself for lunch and a swim. Liz passed away on December 15, 2011. May you find comfort knowing that these two friends are now lunching together again.

Our family enjoyed the Clarins' visits to Houston with Joe and Ami, Joanna and Ali. Remembering how gracious and welcoming she was when we would all meet up in Galveston. Her finest qualities are passed on to her descendants. We love the Westrich family.

Sally was like a sister to my Mom at St. Camillus. THey used to sit and hold hands. IT was beautiful to see. My mom passed away on Monday 12/12/16 at St. Camillus. Sally followed her. Sally often provided comfort to my Mom. I visited Sally on Tuesday 12/13/16. You have my sincere condolences....from my family to yours.
