Please accept our condolences in the loss of Sally. She was truly a lovely person, and I know I enjoyed getting to know her over the last few years. We are sorry that we will be unable to come to Asheboro for the funeral (Rob is out of state with his job), but please know that we are here for you and we will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
