We are so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God’s sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible (Acts 24:15, John 5:28, 29). Those who are raised to life on a restored paradise earth will have the prospect of never again being subjected to misery, sickness, and death (Revelation 21:4). These and other comforting Bible verses and thoughts can be found at jw.org.
What a wonderful and caring Physician. He was always happy and full of love for everyone. He will be missed and our memories will be of his smile and his kindness to all. Sincerely Jane Ledington CRNA Inova Fairfax Hospital
We are so sorry for your loss. I remember all of the things about your family and how we miss you all. He was a great doctor; caring, funny and kind. A great loss
I knew Dr. Salazar (“Sally”) for almost 45 years, during which time we frequently played golf and cards (hearts, gin rummy) at Westwood Country Club. Sally was one of a kind – always cheerful, loved a laugh, and he was a fierce competitor! It was always a joy to be in his company, and I had a great affection for this man. Our world certainly needs more “Sallys”! Our deepest sympathy to the Salazar family. Dr. and Mrs. Dave Pawson.
