Words can't express how sad I am knowing Sally won't be there to greet me first thing on Friday morings. I loved her to pieces and will miss her ornery self more than I can say . She always had a story to tell and kept us entertained at the salon. She was one of a kind ❤ If there was ever a doubt (which I'm sure there isn't) she loved her family with a passion and devotion that I hope people see in me toward my own family. I feel like I know all of you (kids, grandkids and Jim) because Sally always spoke with such love and pride about you! I'm heartbroken for your loss and send prayers for each of you to feel comforted.

We are very sorry for your loss. We really enjoyed working with you and Sally for the several class reunions that you lead. She was always so happy and friendly to all. I know that she will be missed.

I always knew when my Barb was having a phone conversation with Sal. From anywhere in the house I could hear her laughter. Sally never went anywhere, nor did anything, that something funny didn't happen to her, and she was anxious to share it with you. We share deeply in the loss. We were very privledged to have shared in Sal's last social evening the night before her passing, and we will cherish the memory of it.

Sally was such a bright star. She loved everyone she came in contact with. Sally was a great hostess at the lake and a wonderful neighbor for 12 years. I have been lucky enough to know the family. Jenny Has become one of my dear friends from just being in town throughout the years. God Bless you all and know the hurt never goes away, but time somehow helps. Much love, the Valdez Girls
