I’m sending my sincere condolences to the family of Sally Hicks. I worked with Sally at Kettering University and I loved her dearly. She was super funny, and very efficient in her job, as she worked for Bob Nichols and assisted the Co-op program. I would always look forward to talking to her every day because she kept me smiling and laughing and was always someone that I could confide in. She helped me many times in providing direction or helping me to get things I needed to do my job more efficiently. Sally loved her family and shared many stories, which showed her pride. When Sally retired, she gave me her favorite plant that she had on her desk. I still have that plant today, which is a Christmas cactus, and every year it will bloom beautiful red flowers. I will always have this as a remembrance of her. Please know that she was a blessing to us all. I have your family in my prayers. May God‘s peace that surpasses all understanding be upon you all. ❤️
