My heart was saddened to learn about the passing of Sally. She so enjoyed traveling and enjoying the people around her. I will fondly remember our trip to lake Cuomo with St Joes parish and the wonderful dinner we shared with Fran and my brother, Monsignor Mike. I always looked forward to seeing Sally and Fran on my visits to st Joes in Pittsfield. May you rest in peace Sally and may the Lord give your husband and family the strength to get through this very difficult loss. Our Deepest Condolences, Andrea and Bill Reeves

Dear Francis, Francesca, and Stephanie,

Sally was fun loving and full of life. May her memory be a blessing to you all! I always enjoyed bumping into her, mostly in the grocery store and I know Kendra always enjoyed seeing her at Dr. Lahey's Garden when she worked there. Mom / Wini Bell also thought highly of Sally and her teaching skills!

May God grant you solace

Fondly,

Cindy Bell-Deame

Dear Justice Spina and family:

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. I regretfully did not have the honor or the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Spina, but know that she cannot have been other than a wonderful person. May your memories of her comfort you in the days, months and years to come.

I am truly sorry.

Dear Fran, Francesca, Stephanie, Pam, Tom, and Mrs. O'Donnell,

I am bereft to learn this sad news. Sally was one of my very best friends growing up. I vividly remember the fun times I spent over at your house. I remember our walks together, reading catechism together, going to St. Joseph's confession with her on Saturday afternoons, and giggling our heads off over teachers, boys, and silly nonsense stuff only preteen and teen girls can do. At my instigation, Sally and I hid together in the back seat of our 6th grade teacher's unlocked car, and almost gave her a heart attack when we leapt up and shouted "Surprise!" from the back seat behind her. Sally and I sang and laughed all the time, and I can hear her low voice still. I gave her a nickname, Celery, and made up a song from an opera when I saw her----"Celery, celera, celera ha ha ha ha ha ..." and we'd giggle and sing all over again. I loved spending time with her and Fran at our PHS reunions. Again, it was just so rich, so delightful and upbeat.
I can only say how much she is and will be missed; there's a huge hole in my heart now and I extend my love and prayers for you all. Sally would want you to be strong and carry on, I know.

My deep condolences --- Tizzy Wilson, 18A Forest St, #42, Cambridge, MA 02140
