Sally was one of the most courageous people I had the privilege to know. Always full of fun, laughter and enthusiasm for what ever presented itself, she was a very dear friend in our early years on the Ballycorus road, Rathmichael. I will miss her.

My deepest sympathy goes to her sister and to her family; she was greatly loved. May she rest in peace.
