Sally was a woundful person.I went to school with her.May God be with the family. My prayers are with you all.
Dear Gene, Jennifer and Danny.
I would like to start by passing on all our thoughts and love to you good folks in this, your time of need.
When Becky and I were young, mom had to have a back operation and was in the hospital for some time. I will always remember that Sally would come to the house and get Beck and me of the bus after school so dad could continue to work. She also washed our clothes and provided us with a meal every day until mom came home. But that is just one memory I have of her. There are many more that mean just as much to us as that one.
To Gene, I want you to know that you made her life wonderful. She was never really happy until she meet you.
To Jennifer, You made your mothers life complete. She loved you guys more than words can say. I am glad She got the chance to know Danny and was allowed the time to get to know the person that makes your life complete.
Sally was loved by many and will be very much missed by everyone.
Sally,
You will be greatly missed, I will never forget you and our times at Atlanta Bread Comp.
Love You <3
Ken, Jennifer & Danny,
I know that word’s will not soothe the soul or broken heart, but know that you all have our heart felt synpathy. Our thought’s and prayer’s are with you.
Dear McMinn Family,
You may not remember me but my mother was Mettha Westfeldt Eshleman so Sunny Westfeldt and Coo Fitzpatrick were my uncle and aunt. In 1966 we built our house out here on N. Bearwallow Rd. and Sally used to baby sit for our two boys, Mitch and Jim. Earl, you may remember Mitch. Sarah used to help out also. I also have fond memories of your mother Wilma — always so smiling and friendly when I would see her at Sunny and Ellie’s. That said, I am so sorry that you have lost Sally — too young. I am an ovarian cancer survivor (so far) so I have been in her shoes. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.
Take care,
Kay Rapier

Jennifer–
I was so sorry to hear of Sally’s passing. She was truly a remarkable woman, and a fighter! She never gave up, and I was so honored to take care of her. She will be one of those patients that I will remember forever. She left a mark on everyone she came in contact with, and will be soo missed. You and your family are in my prayers- May God hold you and comfort you during this difficult time.
Love,
