Dear Tom,
We just learned of Sally's death last night, as we've been out of town. How we wish we could have been at her services to share our condolences with you and your family, and just to be able to give you our love. We have many wonderful memories of our times with Sally and you, especially Sally's story-telling and laughter.

Dear Tom & family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear about Sally's passing.
We enjoyed having you as neighbors in Sanibel and wished that you could have lived there longer.
So glad that you both were able to visit us in 2008.
Sally will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her.
With deepest sympathy,

To Tom and all the family,
I am so saddened to her of your loss and I will keep all of you in my prayers. Sally was just a light of hope and encouragement and so caring of everyone. As a neighbor i can say I will miss her friendly unassuming wise spirit here. I will treasure the memories of good conversations and sharing. She was so good at that and I will pray for her memories to keep you strong and I know she will always be in the heart of all she touched.

Lisa, Greg, Marie, Nick & to the whole Morin Family: Losing a Mother, Mother-in-law and Grandmother is NEVER easy. We didn't know Sally very well, but Greg (my Brother) always had such wonderful words to say about her. We are blessed to have Lisa in our family and know she will carry the spirit of her Mother and all the wonderful qualities that Sally had. God Bless you and may all your friends and family carry you through your grief.

All the Morins - my heart breaks for you as you deal with this sudden death of your mom, grandma, wife. Such a wise woman who was so comforting and encouraging to me in tough times. I so enjoyed seeing her at BSM or St. Thomas events. I will pray for your family as you learn to walk the path without her. She is much loved - what a blessing. I am so proud to have known her!

To the Morin family: words fail to express how saddened I was to learn of Sally's passing. Some of my earliest memories involve her and my mother in our kitchen on West Mill, and for several years I could call each of them "Mom" and get an equal response. I keep all of you in my prayers as you seek solace for your loss, but I rejoice that she is at peace, surrounded by love and light.

We were shocked and saddened when reading about Sally's death in the obituary. We are presently in Sanibel, and have thought of you both as we see the building your condo was in. I always enjoyed my phone calls with her as she was my kind of a friend. We are so sorry and extend to you, Tom, and your family our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy.

Through the things my best friends Mary Jane and Jeff said about their Mom Sally, and the examples I was privileged to have recited to me throughout many years, I couldn't have helped understand even if just a small snapshot, of what a strong, loving and unwavering source of strength and guidance your Mom was to the family and the grand kids. That loving, socially conscience and caring heart is in you all and I think, you will continue to make her proud. Know my husband and I will be thinking of you many times these days in your time of sorrow.

Sally was a volunteer Eucharistic minister for our department at Methodist Hospital and I always enjoyed seeing her and sharing stories. She was a delightful and gifted woman. I am so sorry to see she is gone. I will miss her and thank her for her time and dedication. Blessings on your journey, Sally.

Dear Morin family,
I have such especially fond memories of times with Jeff and your family and the banter with your wonderful mother over discovering our poorly covered tracks. She was truly a soul filled with love that shined a light on all who passed her way.
