Sally – I worked with you at Big Brothers/Big Sisters – Karen Kruger – I am so sorry for your loss – our Pastor – Mary Margaret Ruth has a saying that comforts me – As you go on you way, may God go with you – above you to watch over you – behind you to guide you – beside you to befriend you and within you to give you peace  + – peace be with you and yours.

Sally,
I am not sure you will remember me but I certainly remember you!!  You were my guiding light for Big Brother/Big Sister.  You joined me with Kristin McCloud with whom I am still attached.  She is a mom now with a beautiful baby boy.
I offer you my deep sympathy on the passing of your dear husband.  I remember so many times, as we talked together, your mentioning your husband with so much love.  I trust that the Lord will bless you with peace and that your memories will be sweet.
Blessings to you and your family.

Dear Sally, 
We said a prayer for Buzz on Memorial Day and today I unpacked a box (yes, still unpacking) and I found a beautiful stained glass duck that Buzz made for me.  I immediately found a place to hang it.  Frank always liked to talk to Buzz and says he wished he could have learned more from him especially re his time in the Navy. I know you will deeply miss him and I remember how fondly you always spoke of him.  Our love and prayers are with you, Sally, and your children.
