We all held a place in Sally's life: partner, son, mom, sister, brother, cousin, aunt, uncle, niece and nephew, friend, co-worker and more. All with different levels of intensity. With that, we all share in her loss to some degree. As a former co-worker I would like to offer my sincere condolences to all of you who were closest to her. I am so sorry for your loss. No one can take her place in your hearts. She was a beautiful, intelligent individual with the most wonderful smile. May you find peace in your memories of her.

Sally was such a wonderful lady and great mother. We are going to miss her in Gakona. It was an honor to be trusted by Sally to be Gunners first babysitter. Know that we will be watching out for Gunner and Jerry. Prayers for the family, thank you for sharing Sally with us.
