Sally Avila Obituary

Dear Don, Girls and the entire Gorney Family,
I am so deeply saddened of the news about Sally - I just can't get her out of my mind. We were classmates at John Mills and EPHS and we spent many days together laughing - what a sweetheart - she was always smiling! I also remember all of her art work and projects - they were always perfect- what a talented girl! I'm sure that all of you will miss her tremendously - I certainly do! She will always be in my prayers, thoughts and fond memories! May God bless Sally and all of you always.

My heart goes out to Sally's family during this very difficult time. I was stunned to hear the devastating news. As a former classmate of Sally's, she was always so kind and thoughtful. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.

God bless,

Michael O'Loughlin

To All of Sally's Family,

Please know that you are in my prayers and have my deepest sympathy. These days are hard to bear, I know, but they bring memories to life and the comfort that Sally is now at peace and in no pain. Time will ease your sorrow, but the love and memories will always remain. If the stars really are openings to heaven, as believed, tnen Sally will always hear you and watch over you as your hearts continue to send her your love.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

I was saddened beyond belief to hear about Sally. Without question, she is one of the happiest, sweetest, persons I have ever had the privilege to know in my life.I have known Sally since we were little kids and I can't even picture her without a smile on her face! My prayers are with her family and her beautiful girls. May her legacy live on in them.

Dear Don and your girls-
My sincere sympathy at this time. I have the most vivid image of Sally smiling and laughing in the halls at Avenue Edit, forever the consummate "glass half full" type of person that could always make things seem a little better. Bless her.

My heart and prayers are with Don and the girls. We will all miss Sally so much. I hope that you are comforted by your memories of such a wonderful wife and mother.

Sally is sitting at her Savior's feet, with no more pain. Don, our hearts and prayers are for your peace and assurance during this very difficult time. Through Jesus death is swallowed up in victory. Love to you, Donna, Louis, Samantha and Micah Burgin

Don and family,

Our hearts go out to you in this very sad time. We know Sally is in a better place now and will continue to watch over her loving family. You are in our prayers and thoughts and know you have a wonderful support system in your family and friends.

Don (and family),

My heart is heavy with sadness for your loss. Words cannot express my deep sympathy. You all have been, and will continue to be, close to my heart in my daily prayers.

The Lord Jesus will get you through this time. Lean on Him. Give Him everything you are going through. He will lift you up. He will give you comfort. Sally is with Him in complete perfection.

In Christ Jesus,
Aaron

To the entire Avila and Gorney families,
