I first met Sally when she married my husband's brother, Mike and became my sister-in-law. We always had fun getting together for family events. She will be missed by all her family and friends. Louise Lynn

It´s so hard losing a sister. Sally was very important to me. She was a friend, a confidante, a pew mate at Mass, a travel mate. I´ll miss you terribly. You will be in my prayers forever.

Rest in peace sweet Sally. It was an honor for us to care for you and be with you on your journey to leave this world. Last night, in a fleeting moment, I said to myself "I need to call and check on Sally". It will take us a while to get over losing you.
