Your loss will never stop hurting, but there is some comfort in knowing that her pain is over. Our deepest sympathy–from friends of nearly 50 years. Love, Ginny and Sid
Sam, Graydon, Pete, Robin, Elizabeth, Max, Tom and Katie. We have you on our hearts during this difficult time. We truly care about you and will be praying for you as you face the days ahead. Our hearts grieve along with you as we care for each one of you so very dearly. God bless you.
Thank you for all your hard work over the years helping first time home buyers achieve their dream of homeownership. I will miss your kindness and thoughtfulness. I will miss talking to you on the phone and your help at our VHDA classes.
It was my pleasure to serve on the board of the Friends of the W&OD Trail with Sally these past few years. We will all miss her very much. My deepest condolences to her family. She was a wonderful lady. Eternal memory to her.
Our deepest sympathy to your family at this time. We are praying for you!
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Jimmy, Nancy and all of Sally’s family at this difficult time. Please know I am thinking of you and you are in my prayers.
Dear Sally, Thank you for all the help you gave me closing our clients loans, helping me to work with the First Time Homebuyers and VHDA. You were always willing to help, and offered clients the best service and programs. I will miss you very much. My GOD Bless you, and your family. Your Friend and colleague, Pat Butler
I am deeply saddened to hear of Sally’s passing. I am glad I got to know her (and got to meet Sam) serving with her on the W&OD Trail board.
Sam, I was so sorry to hear about Sally. I know we only saw each other at a few gatherings over the years but I just always felt you two were just so sweet and kind and caring. It seems so, so untimely and I am sorry for your loss. Prayers and blessings. Donna
So sorry to hear the news. Thanks to you I met Michelle all those moons ago in Cagneys in DC. You even made it to our wedding in Ireland and for that alone you will be in many peoples prayers and thoughts Owen
I will always be appreciative of Sally’s willingness to go the extra mile for whomever she was trying to help. We met in 2003. Having only known Sally through our professional relationship, I always told my wife I respected the way she conducted herself and for that we are always grateful! I was shocked to read about Sally’s passing and I am deeply sorry to see the news. I am not really a person who prays, but I did so when I read the news hoping that her family can heal quickly and she is in a place where she can have peace.
Sam, I was shocked and extremely saddened to hear about Sally’s passing. I am so very sorry for you and the Hamilton family (and for all of us whose lives were touched by Sally). Although I hadn’t seen her in recent years, she and I were quite close friends for the better part of a decade in the 1990’s. I have so many wonderful photos of Sally from that time, which I’ve been poring overand which I would be glad to share with you should you ever be interested. A testament to a young, warm, vibrant person who I will remember most for her wit, independent spirit and love of animals.
I just found out about Sally a few days ago from a chance conversation with another of our Oakton High classmates, who also had just found out. It has been on my mind ever since. Sally and I had known each other since we were 13 or 14, I think we might even have met at a Hunters Valley horse show, I can’t really remember because I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know Sally. We went to high school together, talked to each other all day and hung out together literally every weekend. After college we were still close and saw each other on a regular basis and went on vacations and beach weekends together through the 1980s and 90s. The last decade our lives sort of drifted apart, and we talked infrequently, but I thought of her often. I just can’t wrap my mind around the notion that I will never talk to her again, she was my “historian” and had an amazing ability to remember names and events from years ago, so many funny little details from high school and later are now going to be lost to me without her around to fill in the blanks. After I heard the news about Sally’s passing, I pulled out some pictures, probably from around 1995-97, and just sat and cried, remembering all the goofy, fun times we had. I’m so shocked and sorry that she’s gone.
