Farewell and thanks, Sally
We were sad to hear of the death of Sally G. at the fabulous age of 95.
Sally was one of the early COPES members who was always willing to listen to other peoples’ concerns. She organised the selling of our raffle tickets in the early days. We will always remember her kindness, her beautiful smile and her ongoing support for COPES. Sally continued enjoying receiving our newsletters after she moved to Norfolk, until her death last month and often rang us to have a chat and say thanks for keeping in touch. She was a lovely lady! Our condolences to her family.
