My Mom has been trying to call Sally for sometime now, but no answer. I googled her phone number yesterday and saw her Obit. What a shock. We are so very sorry for your loss. She was such a wonderful person full of fun. My mom and her where friends since they were young. We certainly would have attended her services had we known sooner. Your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. May you find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories you shared.
