I remember Sally very fondly. She was a good neighbor to us on Mars Drive. She was so thoughtful and kind. My children especially remember how she planted a little cactus for each one of them, all seven kids. My condolences to all of you-I hold you in my heart.

My Story with Sally O'Brodovich. This person I asked permission if I can call Mama and she told me "Sure, Why not" That's why every time I called her "mama" I'm getting so excited. Mama Thank you for being so nice to me. - Posted by: Lilian Estanislao (Health Care Aide) on: Aug 16, 2014
