I have to accept that Salem was stopped in her tracks, because God knew there may have been more storms, where she could have been headed, again. HE called HIS child home while she was resting safely in his arms. HE saved her and pulled her up out of the black hole, that Satan so many times had her drowning in. Satan had tried to swallow her whole, but the Almighty hand of God reached down and pulled her to safety as Salem acknowledged HIS grace and mercy. A lost sheep was brought back to pasture. I miss my daughter more than I can express in words. I know many parents out there have lost a child at different ages with different circumstances that know the pain. I pray that God consoles each one of us that feel that tear trickling down our cheeks at the most unexpected times, stemming from the memories that re-surface and take us to our knees time and again. To all of those who awaken to a soaked pillow case and the stark quiet of an empty room, you are not alone. God watches over us both day and night. HIS son is on HIS right and my child is in the LIGHT! I praise GOD, that HE did not call my daughter HOME until HE allowed Salem, to open her heart to HIM, again just IN THE KNICK OF TIME

Few people realize that West Salem was an independent town for over 30 years. From its early development in the mid-19th century--when valley homesteaders grew wheat, hops, and fruits--to the founding of Fairview School in 1868, the opening of the Center Street Bridge across the Willamette River in 1886, the rail line in 1909, and a city charter in 1913 to the surrender of that charter to Salem in 1949, the West Salem area forged its own unique identity. Today, West Salem is a thriving community full of cherished memories alongside physical reminders of its independence, such as the Art Deco-style city hall and jailhouse.
