Dear Allan and family,
I'm so very sad to hear about Sally. She was one of my "big sisters" growing up, when she and her sister Marjory came to live with us as foster children in Cabbagetown in the 1960s. Sally played the piano with such energy and talent and we always begged her to play the Cakewalk song so we could dance to it. We kids would tease her about her boyfriends, but soon Allan was the only one and has been ever since. Sally was an extraordinary, courageous person whose determination brought her though sickness and pilgrimages. She was very dear to our family. As is Allan. On behalf of my late father and mother, Graham and Evelyn Cotter, who loved Sally dearly, and all our extended family, I send you our heartfelt condolences for your loss.
