I cherish the time I was able to spend with Sally – forever inspired through getting to know her and her story. Sending much love and support her friends and family.
I feel very privileged to have known and worked with Sally at Connecticut Hospice and will miss her quiet, sweet ways. All of us whose lives Sally touched as only she could, have lost someone very special. My heart goes out to her husband and family. -Roz Jones
I knew Sally through our work together at CT. Hospice and will always remember her kind spirit and bright smile. She was truly a compassionate person in every aspect of her life. Even though I have only seen Sally occasionally in recent years, there are times when she just pops into my mind and reminds me of her goodness. A shining light has gone out for her family and anyone whose life she touched. She will be missed by many. My deepest condolences to her family.
I met Sally at the NDoc Users group in Lancaster PA. She was fun! She was funny. My sincerest condolences. May God be with you, and your family and know that she was loved and will be missed. Rosa
I remember the first time I met sally, she had such an inner radiance about her. I shall always love and miss her. I remember when my cancer returned Sally was there to cheer me on and gift me with a medalian that was important to her, I shall never forget her kindness. Michelle
I was so saddened by seeing Sally’s name in the paper. I recently met her again when she visited the doctor’s office I work at. I had worked with her at YNHH on 77 before she went to the ICU. I think she worked nights. She was an excellent nurse! You could always be sure that everything was done for that patient and all the paperwork was in order if you took over one of her patients. Her tiny handwriting characterized the neatness and attention she took to detail. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
I wish I could attend but I am here in Naples,Fla. I know that the godess will watch over Sally and your family

My dearest Sally, I miss your sweet voice, your endearing smile and your courageous spirit. You were always an inspiration to me. Love you with all my heart. Until we meet again
My family was not fortunate enough to have known Sally well… after the service on Saturday, I realize to some extent how unfortunate we really are… Sally has come visiting here in spirit regardless of our lack of contact. She had a great relationship with our children in spite of her relative infrequency of corporeal visit. I consider Sally’s departure a question of distance, and not loss in total. While her touch and voice will surely be missed by all, I have no doubt she is protecting all of us such as she is able in the state that she is in now. Our sincere condolences to Kevin, and to all who loved Sally. Sally… fly free and painlessly until the time we can meet again. Protect us as you can, as I know you will. Peace be with you, and us all. – The Beverlys
