May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived. Aunt Sallie will always be in our memories as one of the most gentlest and kindest souls. My Father, Dennis always had fond memories of her. Shirley, Patty and Eddy the days will get brighter...just remember she is with the Lord now along with everyone that has gone before and it is glorious. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Sallie was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known -- or will ever know. I was blessed to have her as a neighbor, and will always remember our final conversation ended with "I love you." Her passing is heartbreaking but I am fortunate to have so many wonderful memories of our nearly six years of "sharing a wall."
