I have known Salle since kindergarten at st.Patricks school in Alton. We also lived 2 blocks apart. Often times we walked home from school together. Salle was a very gentle person and so smart. I remember her great smile.
I haven't seen her since one of.our class reunions. Still her smile was so warm. I live.so far from Alton and miss out on seeing my classmates but so nice that I do have good memories of them. Salle , you were special, rest in peace
