Circumstances kept me from attending Sallie’s re-birth celebration today but did remember her in my heart.
I would like to offer condolences and prayers to Sean, also to Ken, Dan and Dolores and their spouses.
Brian, Pam and Tim and all who were dear to Sallie.
Sallie gave me two of the most wonderful people in my life. Our son and daughter, Brian and Pamela.
She ran the race and saw it through even against all odds. A very dedicated, talented and gifted human being.
May she rest forever in God’s eternal peace.
