We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Sally's passing. We have to agree with cousin Cherie, she embodied that Southern charm and grace. Her warm and welcoming soul exemplified that Georgia hospitality we've come to know. She will be truly missed at our reunions, though I'm sure her presence in spirit will be strong. Our condolences to the family.

My heart was filled with sadness this morning when I read the news about Sally. I met her forty years ago when I was 17, just out of high school and going to work at Goethe Distributing Company. I was always comforted by Sally as she helped me through the many mistakes I made along the way of learning how to work my first job . Sally was warm, caring and funny. We shared many laughs along the way and her presence was always so reassuring to me. I remember how kind she was to me and to everyone who knew her. God Bless you dear Sally... With much love and many happy memories of you. Syndee

I am sorry that you are grieving the passing of Sally. Please accept my sincere sympathy. I hope you will find some comfort in Jesus' promise of the resurrection, when those who are sleeping in death, will be raised up, and restored back to life. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15) May the words from these scriptures help ease your pain.
