Dick and Family ~ Sally was my first cousin and although older, I remember her fondly. As I recall, Sally was an accomplished golfer in her early years in the Peoria area. Last year, Sally attended a small family reunion where I had the pleasure of spending a short time getting reacquainted with her.
My heartfelt prayers go out to her husband, children, grandchildren and mother. God's peace be with you all ~

I knew Sally for so many years from our kids being in school together. She was a wonderful person whom I'm sure will be greatly missed. She was always so pleasant to be around and always had that great smile. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

To anyone who takes the time to read this, I would like to personally thank you. She was a terrific and fun Mother and devoted Grandmother. The Grandchildren meant everything to her, and she meant the world to them. Her time obviously came too soon, but she would definitely want us to go on, and learn something from this tragic situation.
We all love you, and miss you very much Mom.
