    Vickie and family, Sally will truly be missed by her neighbors at Faith Countryside Condos. Knowing her for a short time she always had a smile and always sharing her baking goods with all of us on Meffert Court. Rest in peace my friend. You will always be loved and never forgotten by your family and all that knew you. Sue Richardson

    Sending so much love and virtual hugs to all of Sally’s family and friends. She was an incredible human and I was so blessed to get to know her and care for her shortly before she passed. She was so kind to me and even got my two boys little gifts when she didn’t have to. Those small gestures and heart to hearts we had will forever make me smile. She is now with the lord, healthy, happy with her husband, and at peace…

    It is with a very sad heart to hear of Sally’s passing. We lived next to the Steiner family on Lemon Street Drive for 11 years. What wonderful memories we have. Our daughters said it was the best place to live in Highland with such a variety of ages on our block and all the good times we had together. Rest in peace sweet Sally and now you are with the love of your life Ferdi

    Vicky, we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. It was always a joy to be around Aunt Sally! We kept her in our prayers while Dad was giving us updates on her. And certainly our prayers continue for you and all of the family. May she rest in peace and may God give comfort to you and all of the family.

    God Bless,
    Mike, Cathy, and Natalie Wobbe
