I'm so very sorry, Bob and family, for your loss. Sallyann was the loveliest of women. She directed me in Greek tragedies at Genesius Guild for several summers and I always looked forward to working with her. She was a woman of such grace and warmth and kindness. She was so encouraging and helpful to me and many others. Thank you Sallyann, and God bless you always.

How well I remember Sallyann, Bob & the rest of the family. I think the last time I saw her was when the new Clinton church was dedicated - and that for just a short time. I am glad I saw the obituary on this Saturday, the day of the funeral. I will be remembering Sallyann and the family in my Mass this evening.

My condolences to Bob and family. I was privileged to work with Sallyann for 20 years in our collaborative efforts of Sisters United News. What a professional woman to brought her knowledge and passion for the mission of Jesus into all she did. Her sense of humor and fun, her integrity and dedication are among her many gifts that she shared with all. It was great when she and Bob both came to our national conference together to enjoy social times and check on the Cubs scores! I keep her smile and her gift of friendship in my heart. We bless you, Sallyann, as you go to God! -- Sister Beth Kress, PBVM

Bob, Sr, Peg, Laura, Bob, Jr., Kevin:
I remember Sallyann as such an inspirational, glowing presence in her role as secretary to the Sisters of St. Francis. When we were Mount St. Clare, and a few years into the Ashford years, I regularly stopped by her office in Regis Hall on my way to faculty meetings in that building. She was always full of the most positive energy, eager to talk about social justice issues and her family.
My condolences to you all..
