I met Sally several years ago at Creekside. I enjoyed talking to her occasionally in the hallway. She would always be on the move talking with her other friends as well. Sally was so energetic and always giving smiles to brighten people´s day.

I worked with Miss Sally at Creekside and loved the times we spent together I will forever cherish the song"You are my sunshine " as that is one of my fondest memories of Miss Sally walking the halls and singing this song with her. She will forever hold a special place in my heart as she wasn´t just a resident she was family
