So sorry to hear about Mustang Sally, she was a good mother and loved her kids dearly. She was always a little
quirky which made her who she was. I know words do not help but know you and your family are in my prayers Litty. I love you.

I will always remember Sally as the cool mom! I loved the way she dressed and all the cool/arty things she always had in her house. She raised an incredible daughter and a couple of sons that aren't too shabby either. She loved her children to bits. She'll always live on in her kids and grand kids.
Love, Steph (Boozie)
