August 12, 2021 at 3:59 pmSally was a great lady! She always had time for you even if you weren’t her family. We enjoyed seeing her and our boys thought she was great. We can see by all the kids and grandkids what type of lady she was because they all have her willingness to help, sense of humor and dedication to their families. She will always be with all the family knowing she loved all of you so much. A little bit of her is inside each of you. We are sure she would smile knowing how much she meant to all of you and what a great family you are.
