I just learned of Sally´s recent passing, and my heart is saddened by the void that will be where she was so alive. Sally was a dear friend - going back to the `80´s. I met her working with her husband Felix´s dental clinic. She was hard worker who showed much pride and love in serving there. Sally loved her family deeply; we shared many stories about our young people, later, including the grandchildren. Please know our friendship will always be dear to me. God bless and comfort each of you who loved her dearly.
