Donna LiedtkeSally was such a wonderful friend at church, and in my life. We spent so much time together traveling to and from doctor appointments and running errands. She never complained, but had this wonderful quick wit and easy smile that was absolutely contagious. She was always on hand to take care of others, especially during their greatest time of need. She would put together the food and volunteers to serve the families at funerals, she was the first to arrive and last to leave. She was devoted to the children in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School too. She was a devoted member of our Women's Group at church and was always ready to come up with a great "church" recipe. Dear Steven, Marty, Patti and Sara and extended family...thanks for sharing this wonderful, Christian woman with us. From Romans - "Use your energy to serve the Lord, be happy in your confidence, be patient in trouble, and pray continually. Share what you have with Gods people who are in need." This best describes my friend, Sally Gibbs!
