So sorry to hear of the loss of Sally. She was such a sweet person. May God grant you all His peace, strength, and comfort.
We have only the best memories of Aunt Sally. She was a very special person who could make an entire room light up wherever she went. She will be missed greatly.
Ron, Christy, Ray, Glenn, and Tim, our sincere condolences on hearing of the passing of Sally. She is in our thoughts and prayers. We will not be able to make it to the memorial service but I know Andy, Paula, and possibly Louise may attend. Sally and I are/were the same age.
I have nothing but the fondness of memories growing up with your family and particularly the holidays and all the family reunions including camping.
I also thank God every day since my wife, Kate, was also diagnosed with Ovarian cancer almost five-years ago but we were fortunate it was found at an early stage.
Please offer our condolences to the rest of the extended family.
May Sally rest in peace and be taken into the arms of Christ Jesus, Our Lord.
God Bless,
Bill and Kate Timm
