I was sad to hear of the passing of Sally. I have very fond memories of Sally and Dave during my time at the Deerwood Club. Sally's strong will and personality will certainly be missed.

I know the last couple of years have not been kind to Sally. I had already been missing that twinkle in her eyes. She was a very classy lady with so much energy.
I believe she's with David on the golf course - and maybe my Jim is with them too.
Love to the family.

As I viewed the beautiful pictures of Sally and her family, I was reminded how much the Chambers family loved their beer and how much fun they had enjoying a couple of cold ones together. My condolences to Sally's children and grandchildren. Cherish the great memories you shared together. She lives on in all of you.
