Awe, My beautiful crooked little lady Sally used to come with me to TPR when I was in activities to help with weekly OKO on Wednesdays. I would pick her up and bring her home and we had many giggles. She lived in my neighborhood before her days at Extendicare, and when she would toddle off to the neighborhood store, seen her and just looked with admiration. Such a lovely lady…and so positive! Rest in Peace Sally You brought many years of volunteering and friendship! You will be missed and thought of so fondly!
It was a pleasure knowing her.
