I was happy that I had the opportunity to chat with Sally during my walks around the homeowners association. She talked about family and thanked me for my work on the Board of Directors. I have appreciated all that she had done when she was the Secretary of our Homeowners Associatoin. I will miss Sally.

Sally,
My dear friend I will miss working with you in the office on Fridays, we had a blast no one around , they trusted us to lock up everything, you pulled out a roll of blue tape out and you said it would work on everything we needed to close up.
Thank you for being a mother to all of us and being our Dr.Suess when we needed medical attention.
Till we see each other again
Love you always

I remember my mom making plans each summer to attend the annual school nurse conference with Sally, and how much she looked forward to it. I imagine they had the kind of fun that only school nurses can have in wild old Prescott, Arizona, and then in Scottsdale, when it moved. I am so grateful for Sally and the friendship and support she provided to my mom. She is missed. Sending lots of love to your family.

Sally, we met at the dancing school many years ago. Then what a small world you cared for my Grandmother when she was in a care home. How life is truly 6 degrees of separation ! Then we were bunko babes. I will never forget the loving call when my granddaughter was born and had a little trouble, your assured me all would be ok and it was. You will be truly missed. To quick and to soon. Love

Our hearts are heavy at the loss of dear Sally. She touched many lives, young and old, in her caring, nursing ways. Her sunny smile always let you know "everything was going to be ok".God called her home to early. She will be missed. We know she left this world knowing how much she was loved and appreciated.Rest in the living arms of Our Father, sweet Sally.

To the lovely Suess family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Suess loved every one of you very much. She had so many great stories to share of you all.
To Katie and Danny, I wish I could actually describe the love in her eyes when she talked about you. You are so deeply loved.
To my dearest Mrs. Suess (aka Madam Pomfrey), the magic of your memory will forever be with me.
