I count myself lucky, and incredibly blessed to have Aunt Sally be such an important part of my life. A beautiful smile, and joyful laugh, were the calling cards for the person who loved her family and friends with all of her heart. Thinking of you all, and keeping you in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your loss of Sally. Our Wells Fargo Retire group of ladies got together for lunch twice a year. We had a lot of fun. I will miss her smiling face and our talks on the phone. I know you will miss her also, but remember all the memories you made over the years.
