Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Thoughts and prayers are with you. It's not an easy time by any means, but it DOES get easier to remember the good times after there's some space between this day and the future.

Sallie was a wonderful lady! I will miss her terribly. I loved to sing with her in the choir and we did several duets together at FB Church. She always supported me while I was the music director, even before and after. I know she is in a better place singing in God's Choir. I'm sorry I did not hear about her passing in time to be present at her funeral. May God grant you peace as you mourn the loss of your mother.

To Sallie's Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Your Mom was one of my favorite people and a wonderful role model. When I was a teenager, I went to her house for Bible studies and spent a lot of Sunday afternoons with other friends at her home - she was a gracious hostess, a sweet friend and a wonderful childhood memory of mine. You were truly blessed to have her as your Mom.

Dear Carol, Stewart and family, I did not know of Sallie's recent illnesses. She has always been such a sweet and caring person. I too went to church with her and was in choir, played for the church and remember singing alto with her and she had a lovely voice that she loved to use for God's praises. We here on earth have suffered a great loss but it is heaven's gain and we can look forward to seeing her again some day. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
