Michael, I’m sorry to hear this news. I remember meeting your Sally at this class reunion as we took photos on Suzanne’s front porch. Know you and your family are in my prayers. Maris Mann

Our hearts are so saddened to hear of Sally’s passing.  Sally spent many times at our home when we lived in Stone Mountain, Georgia and she was pianist at Clarkston, Georgia.  We have such wonderful memories of those years of sharing, laughing and praying for Sally a husband.  When God answered our prayers in such a wonderful way by sending Michael, she asked me to be in her wedding.  We have stayed in touch over the years through annual Christmas letters.  Please know our love, thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Sally was a talented sweet lady.   Sorry to hear of her passing.  Praying for Michael and the rest of the family.

So sad to hear about Sally.  She was always kind, caring, encouraging and had such a positive attitude.  She was a great Christian role model and a true servant of the Lord and His church.  I know her family is feeling grief but are also rejoicing that she is with her Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

Sally was a very Special lady, and I enjoyed listening to her playing music at Mountain Park First Baptist Church.  She, Michael and family were a very important addition to our congregation. Sending prayers and condolences to her family at this sad time.
With much love,
Julia Jones Trivette

I first met Sally during the 2013-14 school year.  I was new to Pharr Elementary as one of the assistant principals.  She made me feel so welcomed and I quickly became a part of the special education team and Pharr family.  I was blessed to work beside her and see firsthand the love and dedication she poured into her students.  She made such a difference in the lives of so many children.
Sally had a wonderful sense of humor and a gentle kind spirit that will always be remembered.  Her impact will continue to live on in every life she touched and her memory will always bring a smile to my heart.
With heartfelt sympathy,

Sally was an amazing pianist and person. She would travel with us on our choir tours from Clarkston Baptist. We always had such fun .  She was also an excellent worship leader and pianist in our church.

I pray for all of you who will miss her and when that sadness starts , try to fill it with happy memories because she sure left a lot of those with all of us. May God hold her family close as you remember her and may you feel her presence still in your lives each day! You know have a special Angel guiding and guarding you forever 💙.

I’m so sad to learn of Sally’s passing.
Sally was a childhood friend at Ragsdale in Oakland City and we reconnected in college as part of the GSU Choir.  Life brought us closer in proximity for a short while a few years ago. 
RIP old friend - Grateful for our phone chats but sorry we were never able to get together before you moved away and became ill. ❤️🎶🎹🙏

Sally was one of the sweetest, kindest and funniest ladies we have ever had the joy of calling a dear friend.  Our hearts, love and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
Love, 
Steve & Cheryl Jones
