So sorry for your loss. I remember Sally as a cheerful, always busy, true disciple of Christ at St Barnabas. I believe the spirit lives on in ones who loved her and continue on her path.

Sally was devoted to her faith. She participated quietly and patiently. I spent many hours in church with Sally but always felt that " broad waters run deep". God Speed, Sally.
