My heart-felt condolences to Sally’s family. I was one year ahead of her in school, in her sister Linda’s class. Not many of us did not have the pleasure of knowing one or more of her family members. It has been wonderful seeing pictures of them getting together as adults making more wonderful memories for the others to carry with them until they meet again.
Sally always seemed to enjoy a good word search puzzle . A vary friendly helpful person, and a vary hard dedicated worker. She WILL be missed .
Gerry, I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs and love sent to you and yours…
Sally was the best co-worker a person could have at Borroughs. Gary my heart goes out on the passing of a great woman. May all the great memories keep your heart full.
My deepest condolences. She was a great coworker and she loved her family. The memories will always be in your hearts.
