These words were just shared with me by my dear friend, Leize Willis. Leize called and in-between sobs told me that our wonderful mentor and straight-shooting friend, had passed away. Anyone reading this blog knew Miss Sally Hanckel, you understand. Miss Sally helped both Leize and me through the dark pearls I mention in my book, “Bury Me With My Pearls.” #pearlsbook Miss Sally gave me the courage to do the “next right thing.” Leize and I loved her so much: Miss Sally Hanckel empowered us.
