I was so sorry to hear about this lovely matriarch's passing.  She was always kind to me, but her impact on my family started long before we even knew your family.  We would sit a few pews back in church at St. Mad's, and every Sunday, my mom would comment so complimentarily on the stylish presence of Sally and her children.  It was always said with admiration, perhaps a touch of envy, as NONE of the moms in that part of Bellevue had even 50% of the style, poise and beauty of Sally!  Certainly, I never expected that years later, I would become as close as I did with Chad, Dawn and the entire family, but it was a blessing in life that I could and learn even more about the intense family bond that kept them looking for the positive in all things.  Sending prayers your way.

Sally was someone you could talk to.  She was there to brighten your day with a smile. I will miss you Sally.

One year I went up to spend the weekend.  She had gotten Dawn a fur coat of some kind that Dawn didn't like so we were returning it. While at the store Sally was asking what I had and long story short I ended up with a beautiful gray sweater. I believe I thanked Dawn for making her mad and to let me know when she did it again Ha! Sally's  day was topped off when the clerk thought we were sisters. She grinned so big and told him yes we were.
