We are sorry to hear of your loss. Your family will be remembered in our prayers. Deb Lease
Dale and I would like to send our thoughts and prayers to you. Sally was always so very pleasant to visit with and seemed to be so very happy with life. She will be missed by many I am sure and I know she left many precious memories for those who were so very fortunate to know her as a friend and/or as a family member.
Aunt Sally will be sorely missed by one and all. She was truly a great person and visiting Quincy will not be the same without her there to greet us. My love to all family members.

Dear Charles, Becky, Ann, Kathy and families.
We are thinking of you at this time. When we saw your mother’s picture, we both said, “pretty lady” and knowing her children we know she was just as pretty on the inside.
We rejoice that you had your mother a long good life as we hope the many memories will bring comfort to you. With God’s Blessings.
Ann, Kathy, Charlie–I’m so sorry I didn’t get a chance to do much for your mom. Surely you are glad she is at peace, but that doesn’t make it easier. You can be so proud for all the excellent care you all gave her. She is certainly looking down on you with much love. Be assured of my thoughts and prayers.
Dear family, How many times I have talked to your mother at Soldiers home chapel and one time at St. Rose when she came to visit. Your mom and dad were great people to know. I am glad I knew them from my St. Rose days and will have a mass said for her at St. Rose. paul Geers
I first met Sally and Bonney in 1981 and it was always such a joy just to be with them. Unfortunately, too many years passed and it was not until Christmas when I had a chance to renew our friendship. Sally had a way of making it feel like it was only yesterday since we had last talked…It was a privelege to be able to tell her goodbye. Our world will sorely miss her, but heaven has gained a truly lovely soul! My sincere sympathy to the entire family in your sorrow. May God’s peace give you comfort and your memories bring you joy.
God Bless in this time of your lost.
