I always wanted to call her my Aunt Sally, even though she was actually just my "first cousin once removed." That just sounds so... removed. But I guess it was because she had always had a special relationship with my Dad. Which is interesting, because she and my Dad certainly had very different ways of raising kids. She was so regal in her bearing. I know that the later days were so hard for her family, dementia is so heartbreaking, but perhaps it was also a gift. I had the honor of escorting her around a party at my Uncle Tom's one July day, and she was so much the Sally I had always known and loved, but she also needed an elbow, and reassuring that she was alright. There was a lot going on, and a woman was there in a hospital bed. Sally was perturbed because she didn't know who it was. I told her it was Tom's wife June, and it just felt so good to be a comfort for her in a confusing situation. So I never told her, but she will always be my Aunt Sally.

Aunt Sally will be missed. I am so thankful for the friendship Sally and Mom had. I am also super appreciative for Steve, Garnet, Adam and Linda for looking after Mom in the mountains over the years. Love, Mark
