I thank God for the 69 years and 4 days that I knew Sally. And as her brother, I loved her all her days. We had much in common, but one of the gifts that God gave her in a double portion was a great memory. Others have said it so well, that Sally readily met strangers and made friends-for-life. I expect, too, that she could remember all of her many loving, funny, encouraging,prayerful,counseling, instructive, inquisitive, etc. postings on Facebook. She was friendly and loving to all, motherly to family, a faithful wife & pastor's wife, and much more. Her talents of music, hospitality, cooking and baking were added blessings.
God did lead her through some deep valleys, but those trials blossomed into wisdom and strength to help others in similar circumstances. Sally was blessed with a discerning spirit, which I wish and pray I had more of. We are confident in her love for Christ and that she is safely home.
We love you Paul, Stevan & family, and Sherilyn, and thank you for your loving care, especially in those last difficult but precious months. Our prayers and readiness to help in anyway we can, are yours.
Love, Barry
