Dear Mabel, Connie and Tim,

I am so sorry to hear that Sally has passed away. I'm so glad I saw her in August, 2010 and we were able to talk. We talked about going to the space shuttle and watching Sally Ride, first woman in space. Such a monumental time that my daughter, Michelle, and I shared with Sally. We talked about our childhood and some of the funny things we did. I so enjoyed talking to Sally. The world is a better place to have had Sally in it. I want to extend my deepest sympathy and apologize for not being there but I, myself, am not well. Nevertheless, I want you to know that Sally was a good friend and she had a kind heart and I'm sure many people who knew her would have this same opinion. She was loved.
Sincerely and with condolences,
Sandra J. Hall

I just got back from a trip and saw this.  I had heard that Sally Jo wasn't good.  I was shocked when I read this.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I know what it is to loose a child.  No parent wants to lose thier children.  Sally always enjoyed working with the Civc Center.  We all know she will be sadly missed.

I graduated with Sally. She was a wonderful person, always encouraging others & full of life. We nicknamed her "mustang sally". Those of us who remember her from High School are blessed by the memories that she left with us. Our condolences to Sally's family and friends.

My sympathy to Sally's family,  We were in high school together.  I see we were born  on the same day.   I remember we both took our driver's license test the same day.  I remember her as a good person.  God Bless , Dan Foos
