Grandma Sally was an amazing women. She was one in a million. I love you Grandma. I’m glad we got to see Grandma Sally the night before she died. We were there for hours but it only felt like minutes. I love you Grandma and I wish I could’ve seen you before surgery one last time to let you know that I love you. I’m glad she was my grandma and I wish I would’ve had more time with her. Life is short in a blink of an eye the reality becomes a memorie. She was someone everyone knew or should’ve known. Forever in my heart and forever in my thoughts. My guardian angel, my grandma. Love you forever Grandma. ❤️ cherish every moment you have with your loved ones because you never know when the end is near. ~Grandma Sally~

I’ve known Sally since I wasn’t old enough to talk. Sally, her husband Earl and kids Earl Mcnally Jr and Lisa (Mcnally) Wickstrom have always been like family to myself, my brothers, and my sister. I’ll fondly remember her and Earl visiting my mom and just laughing for hours because my mom and Earl would tease each other about who’s older. Or visiting them at their home in Bark river. You will be missed by so many including myself. You were an amazing woman. Thank you for always being so kind. My heart goes out to all of her family and friends.

Sally, Earl, Lisa and Lil Earl were like family growing up. I have so many memories of spending times together, playing, visiting, enjoying each others company and sharing many meals playing games etc… Sally was always sweet, kind and a whole lot of fun! I am so sad that she had to suffer so with her heart and I send thoughts and prayers to family and friends who are grieving her. The journey of grief is different for eveyone and so I pray God be with each of you in this journey. I pray in time comfort can be felt knowing that Sally is now in God’s loving arms.
