If it had not been for Sally we would have lost Helen Vinette long before we did. She will be missed by our family.

Miss Sally was a good friend to me. The world has lost an interesting lady. My heartfelt condolances to her family and all of us whom she touched.

I knew her from when Grandma Dessie was at Twilight Manor. A delightful person and always so helpful. She would always let us know if Grandma needed anything. I had the pleasure of speaking with her many times and when we went to visit she made sure we all sat at the special ''guests table". She and Doris Shipman were such a blessing for us.

I loved talking to Sally in the last years of her life. We would coffee together at Toots. I can tell you that Sally loved working at Twilight Manor. She cared so much for the residents and worked so hard to keep their minds occupied. Sally, you will be missed. You raised two great kids that will carry on your legacy.

All of the gang that hung out in Howard with Tubby and Teresa as friends had another of the many MOMS that watched over us and her name was Sally. I loved Sally and George, hope to see them again.

Isn't that the truth? We had a great hometown environment in the 50s and 60s of being accountable to all our friends' parents, because they were all watching out for our well-being and setting us straight in case we chose to stray..............Sally was one of those jewels. Lots of fond memories..............
