Bay Ridge Celebrates the Life of “Sweet Sally Sunshine”
Bay Ridge rallied one more time behind a family of its own on Sat., Nov. 3 as close to 1,000 people came together to celebrate the life of Sally Kabel, the six-year-old girl known to many as “Sweet Sally Sunshine.”
Sally died on Wednesday, Sept. 19, suddenly, following a nearly life-long battle with leukemia and complications the family has since said they didn’t see coming.
A funeral mass was held at 2 p.m. Saturday at St. Patrick Church, 9511 Fourth Ave., followed by a “Celebration of Life” in the parish school’s auditorium next door. There, guests spent their time as Sally lived: laughing, dancing, painting seashells and letting love be the light.
