We are so sorry for the loss of David and Kay's Mother Sally. She was a delight at Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners at the House on Wintergreen. There were many good stories and laughter. We sincerely hope the family can remember all of her spirit and kindness. I remember Sally from Al's during that 1965 period. She will be missed. Scott & Linda & Matt Menke

My condolences to Sally's family. I was a neighbor of Sally and Gils for 10 years. I lived on Cleveland Ave and they lived right behind me. I thoroughly enjoyed our chats "at the fence" and couldn't have asked for better neighbors. Sally was a delight at Al's, too. Always a smiling face. I'm sorry for your loss. She was so proud of her family,.

So sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to the family.
