I worked with Sally at WEA for decades. She was unerringly a kind and caring person. Her family and her faith were the center of her life. Among her gifts, she was handy with crafts and told me she would love to be a florist and arrange beautiful flower arrangements. Something else to share with others. Thank you Sally for being you. I send my sympathy to her well-loved family. Sally is missed already.

I also knew Sally while working at WEA Trust. She always shared her smile and often mentioned her sister and her family. My prayers are with her family.

Cheri, I am so sorry about Sally. I remember being so surprised when Marsha & I met her at the Belvidere overpass as we were coming back from Patti & Kevin Earhart's and she was returning from your home. It was such a pleasant surprise. She was special as were your mom & dad. The whole family has been intersecting since we came to Buckeye Church in 1972. Such great testimonies to God's faithfulness in the midst of suffering. I know He will find a way to comfort you & your family through this also.
