Dear Bob, Misty, Mrs. Bryson & Family, We were saddened to hear of Sally’s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy. May GOD Bless you all during this difficult time. You’ll be in our thoughts and prayers. Much Love, Wayne & Karen Womble
Oh my dearest, ‘bestest’ friend of all these years. There were two Sallys. Now there will only be one. Thank you for listening all those times and putting up with me. I don’t know what I will do without you. After all, I too will be on the ‘survivor’ list. I will have to survive when I feel like picking up the phone and calling you. I will have to survive the urge to jump in my car and drive up to your house to stay for a few days, And I was always an ‘heir’.
I was an heir to your love and friendship and caring. I will miss your voice and your hugs. I love you so much. I just wish I could have told you that one more time. Bye Sal.
Rest in peace, Sally. May God be with your family. They are in our prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.-Shipman family
Dear Joan and Family, We are so saddened to hear of your loss. You and your family are in our prayers.
Love in Christ,

My heart is very heavy… Sally Bryson Jones was a special person and dear friend. Although we had lost touch over the past several years, my heart hurts for her daughter, mother, husband and grandchildren. I am sure she was the light of their lives. God bless and carry you during this time.
RIP Sally… You are home with Betty Lou and your dad. I love you and surely hate that we did not get to talk.
Bob, Melissa, Joan and the rest of our family have our heartfelt condolence at the sudden passing of our cousin Sally. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
So sorry to hear of Sally ‘ s passing. Lots of great childhood memories with her at Biltmore and Roberson
I am so sorry for your loss. It is especially hard to lose a loved one so soon. I know God has a place for her in Heaven and he needed an angel.
Bob, I send my condolences to you and family. Teresa and I went to school together and had good times. I am very sorry that we had not kept in touch. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountaintop,then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shal claim your limbs,then shall you truly dance.’?
‘? Kahlil Gibran
You touched so many with your kindness. Dance my friend.
Melissa-
My heart breaks for you!!!! Please know you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers!!!!! May you find strength and comfort in the days ahead!!
Love you..

RIP Sally so sorry for your family’s loss. We had great times at Biltmore School.
Bryson and Jones family and friends, I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for your peace and comfort. Remembering those carefree high school days, and a sweet sweet girl.
I grew up on Forest St. and Cornell St, just down Hendersonville Rd. from that big white house where I spent so much time as a child. Sally was my best friend during my childhood and I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was just thinking of her the other day when I heard the song The Rising Sun. I remember several of us sang it in a talent show at Biltmore School accompanied by Sally on guitar. I remember listening to the album she had of the Airborne singing Good Ole Mountain Dew. I remember sharing her mother’s wonderful grape jam at breakfast. I will never forget how Sally pronounced leg (lagg). The point is I will never forget Sally. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love and prayers to all of you, dear family, I remember Sally as a shy, sweet little girl at Biltmore United Methodist Church. She was blessed by a wonderful, loving family.
Sally was a wonderful coworker, teacher, and friend. She will be dearly missed. She touched the lives of many.
I’m very sorry to hear about Sally passing. She was a great friend and person. I’m glad to have had time spent with her at Biltmore School. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
My heartfelt sympathy to the family! Heaven has gained another Angel! Wish I could be there with you guys…know that I love you all.
So sorry for your loss. Remember when she was born. Lived next door. Wonderful family. Prayers for the family.
She was amazing, caring, and sweet teacher! She was so patient with our children with special needs! She will be missed!
So sorry to hear this. Sally was a great person. I was just looking at my high school yearbook a few weeks ago and read a note she wrote. I knew her from elementary school and lost touch after high school. RIP Sally. Love and prayers to your family.
Dear Bob, Miss Sara and Misty- Chelsea had told me what had happened after the fact. I have so many fond memories of Sally and your home on the mountain in Fletcher. Thank you all for being so kind to me, being my friend and Chelsea’s, and always putting a smile on the face of my family.
God bless you-
Anita Rice Metcalf
