Louis, Michelle and Sarah, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sally was such a lady! When I think of her I picture her with pink fluffy slippers on! ( it was a camp thing) Sally liked to have fun which is what made her such an awesome Brownie leader and I suspect that she was a pretty special grandmother too! I will unfortunately not be able to make it on Thursday but will be thinking about all of you. Take care of each other! Sue

Dear Louis & family During this very sad time, we can't help but think of the many wonderful and crazy times we've had with Sally. We were newly weds from PEI and they were new immigrates to Canada. We met in London in 1967 and oh, what fun we had; Sally on skis, Sally & Louis taking Joe's baby pig ( a going away gift ) to her Uncle's farm in the trunk of their car, her face when she saw all the newspapers in our closet on moving day, her meringues, her Christmas cake, her love of kitchen gadgets and coffee cups, and most of all her wonderful laugh, love of family and wonderful nature. Our deepest sympathy and all our love. Rest in peace Sally. We will never forget you. Love Joe&Glen

Louis, I am deeply move to hear of Sally's passing. I shall be thinking of you and your family; as I often have over the years and yet as with many in life that contact is not made when it should be made. Sally and yourself were also very friendly to all. One never really knows the contacts and how those contact affect others but I was always most welcome by your family and although we cross paths rarely as we did by chance about a year ago, you have been thought of often. This is indeed a sad time for all, but especially you and your children. You and your family will definitely be on my mind. God Bless you are at this time of deepest sympathy.

I remember when Sarah, Michelle, and I were kids and I would go to their house and Sally would make us these great snacks and we had homemade pop and we would make these little pine cone people and Sally was always such a nice loving mother I always remember how lovely and nice she was. I also remember when she was brown owl to us in our Brownie troop and she was always so fun we went camping! It will be a great loss I'm so sorry Sarah and Michelle.
