Obituary for Anna "Sally" Tessalone

A Loving Tribute

A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall
Do not expect to just take and hold
Give friendship back, it is pure gold.
Gillian Jones

Anyone who had the good fortune to know her can attest to her kind, sweet nature, caring disposition, and her love of animals... a true friend to all. We know in our hearts she’s with the many friends, loved ones, and furry friends who have passed before her.
We will miss you terribly, Sally.
