Frank, Sally Vee, and Mary Beth, I was so sorry to hear of Sally's death. She was so vivacious and full of life. You and yours are in my prayers. I know your heart will be empty for some time but you were so lucky to have had such a wonderful mother and wife in your life.

Frank, Sallie Vee, Mary Beth---I am so crushed that we have lost that wonderful Sallie who brightened everybody's life. I loved Sallie and was so happy that we had renewed our friendship at the beach last year. What an inspiration she was. So sad that we won't get to have those yearly winter visits at Litchfield after all. Skimp, Billy, Kara and I have treasured those years we vacationed together at Litchfield Inn. Please call when you are at the beach. We are there on and off all year.
Much love, Trish Campbell
