My friendship with Sally began with our working together at Prov. Picture Frame Co. We kept in touch with phone calls and our occasional luncheon get-togethers. I regret that I will not be able to express my sympathies personally but I will be lighting a candle in memory of Sally and of our friendship. My sincerest condolences to all her family.
Auntie Sal was a wonderful, caring woman and we will miss her dearly. We regret that we are unable to attend the service, but we will be there in spirit. Rest in peace Auntie.
Sorry to hear of your loss , our prayers are with you and your family
