Sally was the mother of my favorite high school friend and traveling companion, Lucy. Sally´s talent as an artist and interior designer lit up even the darkest of spaces. Sally was happy go lucky and a great mom who produced three very successful and loved children. It was this spirit that attracted her second husband David. They both were very generous and shared a love of people and travel. My last memory of Sally was a luncheon we had at Puerto Banus in Mabella Spain. Unfortunately we never saw each other again but her spirit is greatly missed.

Thoughts and prayers are extended to the family and friends at this time of grief and sorrow. May God comfort and strengthen mourning ones, and may the hope held out at Hos:13:14 make it easier to bear your loss.

I so sorry for the family's loss. Psalms 90:10 says those who live past 80 years are especially strong. May you find comfort through prayer as Sally now rest in God's memory.
