Hello Everyone - I just want to join my voice to so many others who have written so beautifully and meaningfully  about Sally. Although I haven't been active in FEAST for a long time (and miss it) because of a mothering challenge that I think Sally would appreciate better than anyone, I'll be remembering her especially and gratefully tomorrow, when I reach the same age as she, as her friends and family in New York celebrate the gift of her life, a gift to all of us.
