So sorry to hear about Sally. I just learned the last time I was in town that she lived in the same apartment complex as my wife’s sister, and I was going to knock on her door and say hi the next time I visited in August. Sadly, it will be too late. I would greatly appreciate hearing from Dave, Arnie or Marlene via email sometime.

So many beautiful things to say yet I still cant get it in my head she is gone, She is in a much better place but the world just lost one more good person. Lord knows we could use a whole lot of people as great as her in this world! The world would be full of love and kindness you will be very missed but forever in my heart, feel blessed to be one of the lucky people to have known you.

Amanda, Robby, and Jodi, my sincerest condolences and most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Sally for many years, through Amanda going to school, and then later spending time at her home with Robby. Sally was a kind, loving person. She would do anything for anyone, and this world has lost a wonderful woman. I am honored to have known Sally, and blessed to have been her friend. God bless you during this time of mourning, and I pray peace and comfort be found in the loving memories you have. Much love
