      My sister and I grew up next to the Trullinger's and knew Sally for so long. Sally was the ultimate lady, gracious and had the most beautiful wardrobe of anyone in Harrisburg. Sally always made the time to talk with you and had the unique talent of making a person feel so important. Cathy and I send our deepest sympathies to everyone and will always consider ourselves blessed to have known Sally.
