Condolences for Sally Jo Tucker
It was a true blessing to take care of your mother. She was so kind and loving. I love how much she loved my little Buckley. I don’t know that she ever remembered my name, but she always remembered my face and knew I was “Buckley’s mama”. Sally will always hold a special space in my heart, I am thankful that we crossed paths in this life. Please take care and know how much she was loved.
I am sorry to learn of Sally’s passing. It was a true pleasure to know her and I will always treasure the friendship that we had. Our family was enriched having known her.
Sally was a true friend and I’m very saddened to hear of her passing. Her and I quickly became good friends after I moved into the house next door to her. I cherish the many afternoons we spent together talking, telling stories, and laughing. She was always so kind and caring. Sally and her dog, Finnley, will forever remain near and dear to my heart.
I introduced myself to Sally years ago when I’d see her walking Finley down Sheridan Blvd. every morning. I always enjoyed our chats, and I miss seeing her sweet smile.
