Nancy Forden

In 1986 Sassi, as acting Director, hired me to head up the Whitefish Branch Library. We became friends. During the ensuing 34 years we our friendship deepened as did our love for Moscato d'Asti wine. The day she passed I sat on my deck and raised a glass of Moscato to the sky. At that instant a Bald Eagle flew over my head. I had hoped for a feather to let me know she made it to the other side. Instead, she sent an Eagle.
