Sally's radiant smile and cheerful laughter captivated and lifted the spirits of those around her.
A woman of strong Christian faith in her walk with the Lord, Sally enjoyed reading the scriptures at her very "special place" in the
woods. Sally cared very much for the salvation of those she loved. There is no doubt her lovely smile we all knew and loved, is now
beaming with joy in heaven.

along her woodland trails.
