Our family just "attended" the sweet service in honor of your dear wife/mother. As I listened to your reflections of Sally I kept thinking back to when our young family started coming to Port Ann Wesleyan. Our oldest daughter was just under a year and I happened to fall into some tension and turmoil with my parents both of which hurt me deeply. And I remember the night I called the parsonage looking for Pastor Paul to give me some insight on handling this situation. I left a message. Sally returned my call. Her first words were "Annette, have you been crying?" I fell apart explained the situation seeking an exact answer on how to handle this. She politely told me that she couldn't tell me what to do. And for the next 3 weeks she called me once, sometimes twice a day to check on me. Over the course of the time we talked every day she would give me a new insight into her childhood and how she was raised. Towards the end of this time I made decisions on handling what happened. I was sure to tell Sally that I appreciated her time and thoughts and prayers soooo very much. It's so true what you all said she had a ministry of just listening. I'll forever be grateful for this woman who showed me so much love. And I just wish I could make her lasagne one more time ❤
