Nancy

I was so saddened to receive your call the morning of your moms death. She was extreamly warm and loving to me the many years I spent at your home as a child and teenager. She always welcomed me with laughter and love.

I will never forget the most recent time we spent together at lunch at Phipps Plaza. We laughed and shared so many fond memories that I will never forget.

She will always have a special place in my heart.

With love

Dearest Jack and Rogers Family- I am Phyllis Rhodes Brower's daughter in Cincinnati, and we all wish to send you our love and constant thoughts since learning of Sally's death. Mother, I'm sure, has told you that she so strongly feels that death is but a door, and that we will see Sally again. Still, it is a huge loss now, and the memories are so wonderful, and so real. My mom would love to be at your side, but understands that this is a very demanding time. Again, our prayers and love. Cynthia Brower Kenny and the Brower Family

Jack and family,

Accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Of all the executive's wives I met over the years none approached Sally for her warmth, friendliness and softspoken demeanor. I will always remember her wonderful smile, kindness and regal appearance. She was a beautiful lady in all respects.
