I would love an update as well. I cried for her when I first read this post, and I don’t even know her! But I do—because I bear testimony through her beautiful testimony generously borne on this site. God bless sweet Sister Sally.

I am sure many would be wanting to hear how you are doing. Praying for you every night. Thanks!

Please know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know what you are going through, and Love you more than you know, or maybe you do know since you have partnered with them in getting this music out to the world.
Prayers for a speedy recovery! I too have been hooked on your music for year and years!

You are so loved and appreciated for your inspirational music. Our prayers and thoughts we send to you in this season of growth our Heavenly Father is having you go through.

The world is such a better place because of you and your gifts to us all.

I just listened to the Tabernacle Choir sing “He Sent His Son”, and my heart was touched. I thought I need to thank Sally for this tender hymn, not knowing that you have had a stroke. So here I am. I have loved and accompanied your beautiful music in ward and stake choirs and small groups for 30+ years. Your gift has been a blessing to me and countless others time and time again, and so freely given. Thank you. I will pray for you.

Please keep fighting. You have more music inside you that needs to come out. May God bless you more abundantly during your recovery. The lyrics are ready for the pen and paper.

It is such a hard thing to have to pause from something you love. You have blessed so many all over the world for so many years with your beautiful music which you so generously share. We all pray for your recovery and strength.

You’ve done so much for so many.
