I am so thankful that Sally came to see me twice and that she brought my uncle, Earl, out West to see his sister, Willa, and me. I enjoyed getting to know them better, visiting, and catching up on news. That was so kind of Sally to come this far. I'll always remember how smart she was. I felt proud to get to know another female engineer in the family. And she looked lovely in her classy Western outfit to go out dancing. We looked up at the stars under the vast Arizona sky and said our prayers. May you be blessed in heaven now, dear cousin.

Sally cared deeply for her family. She was always full of updates on her children, grand children and great grand children and was clearly ready to do anything for them any time. She felt almost the same way about her friends including the "Fine59" group. Any one of us would have had her help and support just by asking.
She was fun and funny. She will be missed and remembered by many.

Will miss you so much. We shared so many things through the years. We laughed and cried together raising our kids. Had so much fun planning the weddings for your two daughters. I loved it when you, Roy Ralmuto and I lived in the same neighborhood and would get together after work for walks and sit in the front yard and solve the world's problems. Give Roy a big hug from me.

Our beautiful Granny/GiGi... You were such an amazing lady. You taught me the hard lessons and you were my biggest fan. I forgot this sometimes. It wasn't until I read something from your bible yesterday that I wrote you 13 years ago that you had saved that I realized how much you loved me. I hope you stay with me throughout my life and I can pass your wisdom down to my children. Momma really misses you but David, Amber and I will make sure she gets through this. You will be missed but never forgotten. Give little Evelyn a kiss and hug from me. :) Love you always and forever Ashley, David, Riley & Mason..
