You will have now received information that Sally Ann Brewster passed away at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning.

I know that Sally Ann was close to so many people in our County and this will be an extremely sad time for you all. In particular, our thoughts at this time are with Peter, Jo, Graham and the rest of the family and I know you will give them the support and friendship they need.
