We feel so sad to know about Sally. We miss her smiling face and cheerful attitude. May the Lord be with you in this time of sadness.

Good-bye to my dear friend since 3rd grade. I will miss the little girl with the long braids. We had so much fun playing paper-dolls and having such long "secret talks". And then all the fun "girl-talk" through academy.
My love and sympathy to all her family.

Although I did not know Sally all that well, even casual meetings always seemed to reveal the special heart that lived inside of her. I know of a place where hearts like hers will someday reside permanently.

Dear Fred and family:
It has been such a wonderful pleasure knowing Sally since 1961 when we were good friends and spent time together in the Mobile Manor as very young newlyweds. I have loved Sally all these years, and it was a pleasure working with her at the College Market. Whenever I think of Sally it is with extreme pleasure at having her as my friend all these years. Such a wonderful smile, such a great gal.
PS The Hilltop Auto Service in Angwin has a sweet memorial of Sally in the window.
God be with each of you. Lorraine Field

Sally touched so many lives in so many wonderful ways. I was just a high-school student working at the College Market when she was in charge of the Natural Foods department and through her blazingly positive ways I saw how a Godly woman can do it all. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up--a loving wife and mother, a loyal employee, a friend to all. So sad to hear that she's gone, but know she'll be right there, showing us into heaven!

I met Sally in 1980 while working at the College Market in Angwin. Sally was always smiling and made me feel like she was happy to see me each time I came to work. You are in my thougts and prayers.

I am grieving with you. I still have not grasped the reality of it. My mind keeps bringing up memories from our closeness in Santa Rosa. I pray that each of you will be comforted in your memories and lifted up with the assurance of being reunited with Sally soon. Come now, Lord Jesus!

Fred,
We were so shocked to hear about Sally. We still see her on her mower tractor when you lived across the street from us. We loved her laughter. It was contagious!
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely, Larry & Nyla
