I remember, as kids, spending time together running around the BAC in Buffalo while our parents dined and socialized. Sally loved to play pranks like blocking the holes in a salt shaker and leaving the lid loose or, stuffing a napkin in the mouthpiece of the pay phones. A true prankster! We spent many New Years together banging on pots and pans until they were dented, which didn't go over too well with the adults. I remember another "adventure" with Sally...sailing from Canada to my brother's restaurant on the US side of Lake Erie. Of course, a lot of partying ensued on that trip but there were memories made that I'll never forget. Sally had an eventful life with good times and not such good times but, she always had a good attitude and a love of life. She left this world too soon but she left behind a treasury of memories for those left behind. We lost touch through the years but I know Sally lived and loved life hard. When I heard Sally had passed, it was a huge shock. She died too young. May her fun loving shenanigans live on in her memory. RIP, Sally.

I am shocked, and very saddened by the death of Sally. I wanted to look her up, and found this. I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful person, inside and out, and I am so grateful she was in my life albeit a short time. A beautiful soul!! A very loving, kind, generous and giving person. I will never forget you!! You are resting in God's arms now.
Again, my condolences to Scott, Gretchen, and Steve.

Condolence From: Jennifer Cogswell
Condolence: My condolences to Sally's family and friends. I was very sorry to hear from a good mutual friend about Sally. The photo here - I am fairly certain - is one that I took of Sally at one of her favorite beaches on Cape Cod, Race Point - Sunset. She was with her devout Blonde Labrador - "Aspen" in the photo. She had a spunk for life, enjoyed people from all walks of life, loved Cape Cod, Whitefish, Montana, Buffalo, NY - her home, sailing, skiing, hiking, laughing, the outdoors, people, and the many places her travels and adventures took her. She will be missed and she will always be remembered. Jennifer
