Mommy Sally was loving, caring and protecting. She always welcomed visitors to her house. She always helped family and friends, emotionally and financially. I’ve known her since 1968 when we lived in Kalaclan. I know she is in a better place and she will always be in my heart.
I love you Lola. Thank you for being the most kind, most caring and most funniest soul. You did everything for us and I will forever cherish our memories. Thank you for sharing a room with me and crying when I cried. Thank you for being the best Lola. I will miss your bright smile and your laugh. Life isn’t the same without you, I miss you so much. You’ve always been so close to my heart. This not good bye, I’ll see you later.
Love,
Valarie Ballena
