What a blessing for ALL of us that Sally's light has radiated in our world for so many years...and continues do do so even now. She has left us with the gift of her presence in our lives and the continuing legacy of her impact on this earth.
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL THE FAMILY FOR YOUR LOSS.
I am sorry to hear of your mother's death. Vicky: you are so lucky to have spent such special time with your mom traveling and visiting in Wild Rose. You shared some stories of those times with me and I hope you realize how lucky you are to now have the memories. I know you will miss your mother very much and I will miss the stories. Love, Renee
To Mark, Larry, Vicki, and Tom and your families: Condolences are sent your way on the passing of your mother--a special lady indeed. Cousin Karen Knapton notified us here in Florida. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes remembering all the wonderful times we spent in Marshall (and even a few times in Wild Rose at the cottage of the Martins) on our summer vacations visiting Grandpa and Grandma Martin. (My mother was Helen Martin Lighthiser.) A summer vacation in Marshall was not complete unless we went to visit Victor and Sally while we were there. Many, many happy memories to be sure. In fact, during one of my last trips to Marshall with my Jeff (maybe mid-90s), we were staying with Aunt Della (Knapton) and we all made a special point of visiting with your mom and dad. We had a wonderful visit. Last Christmas Sally and I shared notes in our Christmas cards. I believe I shared some of our experiences with nature at our place in Tennessee. In fact, we have one bluebird house which has been inhabited at times, but we could have learned much from your mother about how to keep it populated. I was just thinking about your mother in the past few days--that I was going to share some more Tennessee stories with her in a Christmas note. Thank you for letting me reminisce here. Your mother (as well as your father) was part of an era in my life of wonderful memories and close-to-the-heart relatives. I will treasure those memories. Again, Jeff and I send our condolences and are thinking of you all at this time. God bless. Peggy Lighthiser
I remember fondly of summers in Marshall. They always included a visit to see Vistor and Sally (as we knew your Mom). A wonderful lady. She will be missed by all that knew her. My deepest sympathy to the family.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your Mother. I remember when my father died several years ago. You know it will happen but it still leaves a hole in you. May you find comfort in knowing she lived a long, happy and fulfilled life. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I was so sorry to see Sally's obituary this morning in the paper. I have many fond memories of Sally working at the school. They lived just up the street from my Grandma (Nettie Trachte) all the years I remember and I went to school with Mark. My daughter in law Kari is a part of the Martin family, so have gotten to know some of the other family members too over the years. You all have my sincerest sympathy, I know how hard these days will be for you. Take care. Sandy (Johnson) Ruskin
