Eddie and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Sally Ann’s passing, I knew she was sick a while back, i was hoping that was over. She was so young, but a very outgoing person. My prayers for you Eddie and your family during this time of grief.
I had the blessing of watching this amazing and fearless young woman mature through the years. She was sometimes a little bashful but also smart. Sally lived her life to the fullest. Her daughter and family meant everything to her. In the last few years she shared photos and memories with me. There will always be a place in my heart, but I know she is no longer sick or in pain. Fly high my beautiful niece. Heaven awaits you.
So sorry for your loss. She was a nice young lady and she will be missed by many that knew her. Eddie my prayers go out to you my friend and the family.
