I send my condolence to Sally's extended family.
Sally was my first girl friend at age 5. She was a darling and smart red headed girl and we said we someday would marry and have 10 kids. She loved her dolls. Our mothers thought we were the cutest darn thing. Our homes were a stones throw away, so we saw each other almost every day. Sally and I kept in contact occasionally throughout the years. Our mothers were life long friends. I remember Sally fondly and was sad to see of her passing. Much love to all her family.

So sorry to hear of her passing. We were housemates on Badger Street so to speak, she had the upstairs unit and we lived in the downstairs house, we were best friends with Jane Arata - had a fun weekend years ago in NYC when Mark hired a limo for us to ride downtown Manhattan. Our hearts goes out to all of her kids. Worked with Wendy at Orr & Reno for a while. Prayers and condolences for your loss.

Sorry to hear of your Mother's passing, though I knew her mostly from our facebook chats, her Mom and mine were friends from way back when they both lived on lower South Street when all their children were very
small - and they remained friends until Gwen's passing. Like your Grandmother your Mom was a lovely lady.
