Sally was my best friend in high school. Everyday we ate lunch together, talked by phone, and passed notes between classes. We were inseparable on weekends. Even though our lives took us in different directions, we kept in touch. When we would talk to or see each other it always seemed as though no time at all had passed. Sally was extremely friendly and generous and had a great sense of humor. I will miss her warmth and laughter the most.

My lifelong friend. Not many people can say they have been friends all of their lives, but I can. Sally and I were born 10 days apart. We lived across the street from each other growing up. We played together as babies crawling on the floor, we played outside together riding bikes and playing hide and go seek. We went to kindergarten and grade school together. Although we went to different high schools, we never lost touch with each other. Sally introduced me to some of her friends from high school-Janet, Jeannie, Lori and Tracy just to name a few-all lovely people! Sally was one of the most caring, thoughtful, loving people I ever met. She was always there for everyone that needed a helping hand. I will miss my lifelong friend forever and a day. Love you girl, till we meet again.

Julie and I wanted to send our condolences to Sally's sons, Mike, Mark and Matt and sister's Sue and Sandy. Sally was a firecracker when she was young and I was lucky enough to get to spend some quality time with her in my formative years. This world is a little colder now that you have moved on to the next phase of existence. Sally you will be missed.

My life will never be the same. My sister Sally and I talked every day. On the phone we would try to solve the world's problems, talk about our kids, who bought what at the grocery store and dollar tree and how we were feeling today. I have been listening to her voice messages every day since she passed. We always ended our messages and conversations with "I love you" What I wouldn't give to hear those words from her one more time.........

I´m going to miss Sally. She was always very welcoming and loving towards us Brandush/Denny boys. The last time Sally visited she stayed one night with Katie and I. We ended up staying up past midnight just talking about life and flowers and any subject that came up. It was a good night. Rest in peace Sally.

Sally was one of the most thoughtful people I know. She frequently reached out to her friends and family with little notes, birthday greetings, or gifts to show her love for those she cared about.

She will be missed, and I will forever dedicate "Runaway Train" to her whenever I play it, as that was her favorite song request.
