Sally was the person I asked to witness my will as a notary.
I asked her to do this for me because I had known Sally since I moved
to PV in 1988. I expected to know her for many years going forward,
I thought she was a lot younger than I. I feel so sad that I won't
see her anymore. We always had a nice chat. That her former husband
wrote such a respectful entry says a lot about the kind of person we all
have lost and will miss. So glad I knew Sally Prell.

When my daughter called to let me know that Aunt Sally had passed away, I was shocked to say the least. Sally and I always had a good relationship and we have been through some bad times. The good always overcomes the bad. I will always remember Sally as someone you could confide in. Liz, grandchildren and Frank you lost an integral part of your life. Remember the time you had with Sally and always remember that she is looking down on her family and will always be there for you.

Frank and Beth, please know that you are in my thoughts during this most difficult time. I wanted to tell you that I'd seen Sally at the office just a couple of days before she died. I'd gone there on an errand, but was feeling very sad that day. I knew she was the only one I could confide in. She took the time to listen and talk with me about MY problem, and I left feeling much better. What a wonderful woman she was. I hope she knew what an impact she had on others' lives. In the few years I knew her, she gifted me with her strength, compassion, and friendship. I will miss her.

I was saddened to learn of Sally's passing. What a shock to learn that someone as vibrant as her passed at such a young age. I was thinking of her over Christmas when I got out her recipe for cream puff dessert. I know she will be missed by her family and friends and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Beth, so sorry for your loss!....actually your mom was a loss for everyone in the family! I knew your mom very well and she was always very kind and respectful to me in-person. Besides you, she was the only other family member that would visit my Facebook page.. She would also checkup on me to see how I was doing and we had very nice chats. She was a very good person and I miss her dearly too! Sorry I could not make the drive down to be there in person...my chronic pain syndrome is getting much worse and being in a recent rear-end collision did not help with my cervical spine. My thoughts and love are always with you and your family. You can email or call me anytime! Many warm hugs Beth! So so Sorry!:-( Aunt Tracy!

To Sally's Family: We are so, so saddened to learn that Sally is no longer with us! What will WE ALL do without her?? Sally is a "legend" here in Panther Valley...a notable and remarkable person...both "famous" and popular in every sense of the word. Yes, Sally was an employee here for many years, BUT; she was a friend first. She is loved by all and her memory will live on forever. May knowing how Sally is revered, respected, and loved be a comfort to you all at this time. Bobbie & Hank Mues
