Over a decade ago I met Sally. I had rented a place she owned and  ended up staying with her for almost a year.  We were closer then I was with my actual grandmother. I admired how steadfast she was, what a wonderful indomitable spirit. I was looking forward to talking to her when I found this obituary, I'll surely miss her and cherish our memories of drinking vodka and watching Cary Grant movies. 

My name is Robert Wainright-Greene and I found “Sally”, my 4th cousin, several years ago while building my family tree.  My great-great grandmother was Mary Ann Langford who married into my family in 1861 in Port Hope, Ontario.  She and my 2nd great grandfather lived in Peterborough and moved west in 1899.  The Langfords lost track of her and no one in the clan had any history.
  When I learned that Sally was in Victoria I called a mutual friend and asked if she would be OK with a “cold call” and he said she would absolutely love it.  That call led to a number of years of visits, sharing family history, but building a delightful and fun relationship filled with laughter and sly innuendos.  We also discovered we had a number of mutual friends, and several shared experiences, and even encounters before we knew we were related.
  I am so blessed to have shared time with Sally and will always cherish my memories of her.  She was so engaging, so witty, so full of life and rich in experiences.  I feel the loss and extend my condolences to her loved ones.
