Friday Mar 1, 2002 We just heard that Sally Jackson-Bowen has been in an accident in India and died instantly. She and Blane were on one of their great adventures, traveling in a convoy of motorbikes with Sally's brother and two friends from African Safari. Blane was not hurt. Funeral services will be in Toronto on Monday or Tuesday of next week.
I know you share Catherine and Phillip's loss. Catherine especially would want to hear from you and perhaps you can share some memory of her wonderful mother. Her e-mail address is:
Best regards. Pierrette Lucas

BOWEN, Una Sally (nee Douglas)

Suddenly and tragically in a road accident on February 28th, 2002, while adventuring in India. Sally embraced her life with vivacious energy, boundless grace, strength and style. She brought beauty to everything and everyone she touched. Sally leaves her husband Blane Bowen, mother Una Taylor, brother Ian Douglas and his wife Zinni, sister Helen Douglas, daughter Catherine Jackson and her husband Anthony, son Phillip as well as Michael and Kathryn, Tim and Sue, Jenn, and grandchildren Rachel, Thomas and Henry. A bright light has been extinguished in our world, but will burn brightly forever in our hearts. If desired, donations may be made to Planned Parenthood, Humane Society or Alzheimer Society
