Sue and family,
I was so sorry to read about the death of your mother. I have such fond memories of her from when we were children growing up in the same neighborhood. I remember Sally as a fun-loving, easy to laugh person who always made me feel welcome in your home. The word that comes to mind for me is "spunky" and full of life. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Fondly,'
Eleanor Droegemeier (Heimpel)
