I am so very sorry for your family s loss. I haven't seen Sally for a couple of years, but there was a time that I would see her weekly at the salon. She was such a kind and caring person. She would always ask about my son and I enjoyed hearing about her grandchildren. I know that she will be missed by many. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Sally, Rest in Peace❤
