Dorothy & I send our condolences to Kath and David and all the rest of Sally's extended family on the death of my three children's last remaining grandmother. She was a terrific grandmother to them; they loved her greatly. She was a great mother-in-law to me, too!

She was the mainstay of our group and we will miss her!..Betsy Bundy, Barbara Metcalf,Liz Loring, Paulie Loomis, Ruth West
