Dear Darrell and Brenda, I am so sorry for your great loss. Sallie was a true friend to me. I had already addressed her Christmas card when I saw on the internet this morning that she had already gone to see Jesus. I know her Christmas will be blessed. My love and sympathy to you and your family, Margaret Dunham
