To the family of Sally Wert, I would like to extend my sympathy for the loss of your daughter, and sister. I remember being at your home on Paw Paw Road and Sally was just a wee child. Sounds like she was a great gal and will be missed by many. I was in Shirley's class in school. God bless you, Barb Ellcey

To Sally`s Family,
I got the priviledge to meet Sally
when my sister was engaged and married to her nephew Jeff Wert.
I remember at our bravo`s dinner that Sally loved the pizza. I didn`t know her well, but I sent her some cards during her illness,I also remember Maegan telling the stories of the notre dame football saturdays, a wild and fun time.
I will miss Sally and our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family on the loss of a special daughter,sister,aunt and friend.

Don, Mrs. Wert - Paul just sent this notice to me. Very sorry to hear about this. Dad had talked about Sally and how he had not seen her walking lately. I regret not being able to attend the visitation or the funeral. Don, I hope to see you at the class reunion in a couple of weeks.

Jan,
I know how close you and all of your family were to each other. I am so very sorry for the loss of a wonderful sister. It is heart wrenching to go through. Sally sounds like she brought much joy to those in her life. Not many can say that about a person.
Losing my only sibling 2 years ago was a shock and great loss. I do know how you must feel.
Again, Jan, I am truly sorry for your loss and for all of your family members, you have my deepest sympathies.

I never got the chance to meet Sally but did know her loving, caring sister Jan. Sally could not have had more compasionate, loving care at home than with her sister and mother. I heard a lot about Sally from Jan and Sally touched many lives with her humor, optimism and love for life. She will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to the family in their loss.
