I was so sorry to hear this. I was hoping to see her at our 50th high school reunion this past weekend. She was such a nice sweet person and I can still see her smile from the 60s. My condolences to her family. Such a sad loss.

I was so very sad to learn of Sally's passing. We were school friends--always in the classroom for students whose name began with the letter 'W". I remember her as a fun-loving, smart and very, very nice person. I offer my thoughts and prayers for her and her beloved family. May God grant you all strength during this difficult time.

To the Kocis Family,
Sally was a friend and a mentor to me during my career in the Trust and Estate world. She helped me through some difficult times and we laughed and cried together. One of my fondest memories with her was when we were attending a CFP course at Moravian College and on the way there, I noticed something in the middle of the street that looked like a vaguely familiar stuffed toy. So on the way home, we drove that same road, and she stopped so I could get out and rescue that poor lost Snoopy! Sally will be missed by all those who's lives she touched. May you find peace and comfort with your memories.

Sally helped our family a great deal thru times of loss in a professional way with her sound and intelligent financial advice. She was truly a Renaissance woman! We hope and pray that now her family may be blessed with the same kind of help and love and caring support that she offered to us, many times over! With warm memories and great affection, Rick and Amy Lang and Family

Sally was a beautiful person, inside and out. She looks the same as when we met in school so many years ago. I was looking forward to seeing her at our 50th reunion next month.
