What a difference one gentle spirit can make. If only we all could leave such a legacy. Rest in peace Sally, and know that your work lives on.

Sally set the tone. She also gave me serious shoe envy on more than one occasion.

Sally’s spirit resides in all efforts to create community within green spaces in Decatur. I will miss Sally, but her energy will continue to bless us, especially when visiting the Oakhurst Community Garden!

At least there’s a brighter star in the sky–Sally Wylde was a beautiful and inspirational woman. I remember working with the South Decatur Comunity Development Corporation years ago when she approached us for a loan to build a garden on an overgrown corner lot in a shabby area. Whatever for, I thought. Little did we know…Sally’s OCD is a treasure for the entire metro area.

Maybe they can plant a memorial garden for her on the property. She was a wonderful woman.
