  • My deepest condolences to the Ogemah family. May GOD keep you company Sally. Sally was a great role model and a peer I looked upon Sally because she was so kind and generous of her time. I really enjoyed the puzzles we used to do together. I'll always have those memories of you. - Posted by: Carlene Edwards (friend- former co-worker) on: Jan 16, 2014

  • I worked with Sally at RBH and she really was a great person...we worked together on several programs and I got to know her a little more on each ride in the van that we took while doing Young Mom's. Sally, when I became ENG+ Coordinator, my only goal was to make it as fun as you did, thanks for helping me with that by the way. You truly cared about the youth and would often treat them as if they were your own. You had the kindest personality, a warm smile, a great sense of humor and I can honestly say you never had a bad word for anyone. I have many memories of you as a coworker, but mostly as a friend. I will miss you terribly Sally O G, R.I.P. - Posted by: Audrey Campbell (friend and co-worker) on: Jan 15, 2014
