For the past three years, I have had the privilage of knowing Sally and working with her side by side in the Celebrate Recovery ministry. She was one of the most thoughtful, selfless, and sincere people I have ever known. She added so much to the praise team in her music and in her spiritual insights. Although her last days were soft-spoken, her words were full of wisdom, encouragement, and love. We are found with a great absence at your loss and will miss Sally dearly. May God comfort you in knowing that her faith has secured her in the loving arms of Christ. Please contact me if there is anything I can help with.

May our Lord comfort you in this difficult time. If I can help in any way please let me know. Peace be with you.

God Bless,

Comfort, Peace and Blessings to you in your time of grief. May the Holy Spirit lift you up as you are going through the loss of Sally's life on this earth. She was and still is an inspiration to me to keep going and serving the Lord Jesus no matter what you are going through. As she faced death, she did not give up. She kept on serving Him and others. "May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26.

I feel so blessed to have known such a special lady. Sally had a heart of gold and brought sunshine into any room she entered. Her warm smile was always contageous and she had a way of always knowing just the right thing to say...just when you needed to hear it most. I am thrilled that she is up singing as loud as she can and at the top of her lungs with Jesus. The past few years of serving with her on the Celebrate Recovery Praise Team have been so wonderful. I am a better person for knowing her. Love you Sally!

Sally befriended me right after I moved to Savannah several years ago. Even after I moved back to Kansas to be closer to my family, we kept up the banter and I think we helped each other heal from old wounds. I am bereft of words to give you solace, Tina and Will and your family. I've been grieving her leaving us for several months. I find comfort in knowing she made peace with herself and God before she died and is being reunited with her beloved Lady. Sally showed amazing grace and grit. I shall treasure her friendship forever.

I am very sorry for your loss but happy for Sally. We all know that she is in a better place. I am so glad there was not a lot of suffering in her last days. I saw her the day before she died and she seemed happy and at peace. Sally was my sponsor at Celebrate Recovery. She helped me, through her experiences, strength and her own recovery, to keep me on the right path. She will be sorely missed.

Sally is a wonderful friend and I feel blessed to have our paths crossed. I thank her for all she did for me and feel that she gave me more than I could repay.
I look at all the good that she gave to people and want to be able to emulate that. She opened doors that people will walk through for years to come.

I knew Sally Ann many years ago when we were in High School together in Starke, Florida. I only learned earlier this week of her passing from some of our high school friends and would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to help comfort you in this sad time. I have never forgotten her wonderful smile and personality and from the many comments I read here, she continued to have a profound effect on others throughout her life. My sincere sympathies.

I met Sally almost a year ago while attending CR at Savannah Christian. Sally was such a wonderful person. During her illness, she took time to come see me while I was in the hospital and it menat the world to me. Just to know that she was not feeling well herself, that she took the time to come see me. It was one of the last times I saw her. I cried after she left because her visit touched me so. I will always remember Sally as a sweet, loving , and giving person. She will be missed by the many who love her.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you, her family through the comming days.

May this wonderful promise from God bring you comfort. "...the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) and come out. (John 5:28)" You should not fear because there will come a time when you will be reunited with your dear loved one.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Sally through Savannah Christian CR ministry, and I am a better person for knowing such a sweet and genuine person. Sally was on fire for Christ and her testimony truly inspired me. She will be greatly missed, but I know that she is with our Jesus in Heaven and that she is in such a better place. My prayers are with her family.

When I was Ministry leader for the Usher Ministry at Savannah Christian Church, I came to know Sally well, and I am the better for it. She was dependable, courteous, helpful, and did a great job as one of our first female ushers. Later, I saw her help many many people (including myself) in Celebrate Recovery, as we worked through life's challenges together. God bless you during this time of adjustment to life here without her, and rest assured that we shall enjoy her presence again!

My husband, Robert, and I had the sheer joy of teaching Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University" with Sally at Savannah Christian Church. She was a ray of light. I will never forget her kindness and love for others. I saw her just a couple of weeks ago at church. She was so happy to be there! She always stayed positive. I can't wait to see her once again one day when I arrive at the pearly gates!!! I will never forget her smile.

I just learned of Sally's death and, though I am shocked and saddened by the suddenness of her passing, I hope you are somewhat comforted by the words of many who knew and loved her. We met and served together at Walk to Emmaus and saw each other frequently at Savannah Christian, where she always lit up the room with her warmth and humor. She was a loving, wonderful servant of Christ and will definitely be missed.

I knew Sally Ann as a child when her sister Mary Sue was one of my best friends. I have many recollections of those good times and Mary Sue's little sister. My deepest sympathy to all her family. I know she will be missed. May God Bless you all.
