Sally and I are first cousins and we spent a lot of time together when we were young at their family farm in Strathclair. I helped Sally with her chores such as picking and cleaning eggs to sell in town, herding cows, setting the table for meals, washing dishes, etc. I looked forward to reading magazines with Sally about movie stars, cutting out and pasting photos of them, talking about their movie careers and going to see some movies at Strathclair movie theater on some Saturday nights. It was a special treat to visit Sally and her parents from time to time. I remember eating canned tomato soup, sausages and ketchup at her place which was something rare at our place. Sally always had pet rabbits in her room which was very nice. I always asked Sally to promise me that I would be one of her bridesmaids when she got married even though I was 7 years younger than her. She honored this promise and I was thrilled to be her youngest bridesmaid for her two wedding receptions. Over the years Sally and I have kept in touch by telephone regulary and shared family information and stories. Sally was a very talented artist who made lovely paintings of landscapes and portraits. She also had wonderful sewing skills to make doll clothes and clothes for her lovely daughters, Lexie and Michelle. We were very fortunate to have a lovely in person visit with Sally and her daughters in Oakville some years ago. She was a very warm courageous person with a good sense of humor and someone I could call a close personal friend as well as a cousin. I will miss her a lot but know she is free of pain now and in a much better place with God. Our deepest and sincerest sympathies to Lexie, Michelle, Shaun, Kate , Quinn and the extended family.

Many fond memories of my older first cousin “Sally “, whom I looked up to as a glamorous, well-dressed, and sophisticated young woman, 12 years my senior. I was so grateful for her kindness and creative ability when she so generously gifted me with a huge bag of hand-made, quality doll clothes that I cherished dearly and lastingly as a young child. She made me feel like I was her special “little” sister!
In time, and with distance separating and finding new paths for all of us, family gatherings became less frequent, but we never forgot those precious Sunday nights spent together at Sally’s family farm (staying up late and watching our very first TV programs and enjoying Aunt Cora’s savoury pies)!!
As time went on, and life got busy, our less frequent encounters at social gatherings were filled with Sally's recalling of happy and fun-filled tales of the “good, old days” gone by! There would always be a chuckle in the mix, leaving us with lasting memories of her warmth, her heartfelt family ties, and her beautiful smile!!
Thank-you so much for the special moments, dear cousin!
With love and prayers for peace and eternal happiness️
