Bay Ridge Mourns Sweet Sally Sunshine
Sally Kabel, the little Bay Ridge girl who bravely battled leukemia for most of her young life with a sense of optimism and a zest for life that earned her the nickname “Sweet Sally Sunshine,” died at NYU Langone Hospital on Sept. 19. She was six years old.
Her father, Matthew Kabel, announced her death on Twitter. “Sally went home to God at 2:01 p.m. this afternoon, snuggling Mommy and Daddy while listening to her favorite songs,” Matthew Kabel tweeted to hundreds of followers.
Matthew Kabel and his wife Nicole were with their daughter at the end.
