My condolences to the Barry and Richards families!! Sally and Glen lived next door to my parents for several years and could not have asked for better neighbors! Sally was a very kind and thoughtful woman and will be missed by all who knew her. I am sorry to miss the funeral service but due to my currently compromised immune system I thought it best not to attend. The family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Sue Tomlinson
