When I think of Sally, I also think of her other family members that I grew up knowing. Her mother Maude and the Kensing family were special people. I can't think of a time when I did not know Sally. Such a treasure.

Sally opened her home in 1971 to my 6-week-old baby girl. Through tears I left my first child in her arms, but her confident motherly instincts made it so much easier. She was my hero. I have enjoyed sharing those moments together in later years as we would cross paths. Beautiful lady and wonderful legacy.

What a fine Christian lady and friend. Our families go way back. I've known Sally all my life. My older siblings and Sally went to school together and was in youth group together. I grew up with Donna and Mike. I always enjoyed visiting with her and sharing stories. Our last visit together we reflected on how our familie
s were now considered some of the oldest members of our church. I will miss Sally . Prayers for her family. God bless.

Don, Mike and Art:

Jim and I are so sad to hear of the passing of Sally. I was shocked to see this because it seems like I just exchanged messages with recently. I had no idea she was unwell. We are lifting you all up in prayer and I know for a fact that she is wrapped in Gods arms and is now with her beautiful daughter Donna. I loved her. She was like a second mom to me when I was young. So many great memories.
