Dear Paul, Sherilyn, Stevan & Jessica, Ella, & Ezra,
How do we begin to tell you how very much Sally meant to each of us?
Well...I will try....
It was a Sunday after church at a restaurant called Carriage Corner in Mifflinburg. We were to meet Larry’s sister & husband for lunch after church as we always did. We arrived at the table, & there was a new couple. - Paul & Sally!
Upon our first meeting, we felt their warmth & interest in getting to know us, & we really wanted to get to know them too. We had a great time. That great time evolved into weekly great times at another restaurant, Country Cupboard in Lewisburg. We looked forward each Sunday after church to our times together. We invited various other friends who also had a great time!
Definition of “Great Time”:
We would all be so happy to see each other. We all had such different personalities, but we came together like perfect ingredients of a favorite recipe. Sally was clearly the funniest. You just never knew where the conversation would go when she would start talking. At times, Paul would gently try to rein her in to no avail. How we loved to hear her stories! She would so clearly tell them, it was like watching a high definition technicolor movie. Stories of antics of her & Paul, the “lawnmower story”, stories of her childhood, & on & on ... There was much laughing, sometimes weeping if needed, comforting each other, encouraging each other & growing precious friendships. Sally played a key role in these times. She was one of the most funny, caring, & loving friends we’ve ever had.
She loved our dog, Gunner, but wouldn’t touch him because she was afraid of dogs! He respectfully came as close as he could without touching her. She would warmly & lovingly talk to him. They had a very special friendship!
We loved Sally so very much. She is leaving a huge hole in our life here on earth. Our comfort is knowing that because we have a personal relationship with Jesus, we will be seeing her in Heaven someday.
She loved Jesus & her family with all of her heart & what a beautiful legacy she left!
She ministered to so many in her special unique way. She was loved by so many.
I will never forget her talking to & praying for us through a very painful time as we grieved the passing of our granddaughter from leukemia. She so well knew the pain that my daughter felt.
We are so thankful that she is with Jesus, her beloved Stacia, & her beloved parents, completely healed. Can you just imagine all the people she’s already met & how she’s making everyone laugh as she’s telling her stories?!!
Paul, Sherilyn, Stevan & Jessica & Ella & Ezra, we can only imagine how deeply you are grieving her. This has been a terribly deep valley. Please know that we “are here” as you adjust to this new “season” & will be continuing to pray for each one of you to feel Gods strong love & comfort.
With love & sympathy,
Sue & Larry & “Gunner
