My heart is heavy having learned of Sally's death. We had been friends since very early childhood, attending the same church, schools and college. I
There are so many fond memories from Vacation Bible School, summertime Youth Camp and other church activities during our pre-adult years.
How happy I was to see Sally enrolling in college at the same time I did.
I only lived in the dormitory during our freshman year and true to form, Sally was always smiling. Over time her smile never faded as the love for Paul continued to blossom. Their love for God and for each other grew exponentially as they worked through every challenge life presented.
Sally truly was the strongest woman I've ever known at one point last year I mentioned that her name should have been "Jobette" as nobody other than Job has ever survived as many trials as my friend Sally did. Like Job, Sally never lost her faith and continue to praise and trust in God.
That being said, I've composed a list of positive adjectives that start with the letters of her name...
S. Spiritual, Sweet, Sensible, Strong, Supportive
A. Affectionate, Accessible, Amiable, Artistic, especially with her Amazing photography
L. The first "L word" that came to mind is Loquacious - - Sally could talk 20 minutes to a busy signal, LOL Long-winded also applies - just read her lengthy posts on Facebook
L. Loving, Loyal, Logical, and Likable
Y. is the most difficult letter of this series so the best I can say is Yielding. Sally Yielded every hour and every day to the will of God. The other "Y word" is Yellow rose, her favorite. Paul, Sherilyn and Stevan thank you for filling her room with Yellow roses on her 69th birthday, the last day she opened her eyes. Even with eyes closed she could still enjoy the fragrance of her favorite flowers.
My prayers for the Sheets and the Miller families will continue as you all work through the challenges of this most difficult time. Sally has graduated from this life and became a Heavenly angel.
