Not sure what to say?

The incredibly magnificent collection of classical discs issues under her name speak well of her contribution to lovers of classical music. What would we have done without her efforts!

Her passing was far, far too soon! Her contribution to the the kind of music I really love was enormous! May her memory be a blessing!

When I became acquainted with her, Sally and Peter had also become members of Jacques and Marie's cabaret chanson group. I didn't know she also had roots in the Northwest -- she in Seattle/Spokane WA, me spending boyhood in Helena Montana. Her all-encompassing competence, charm, and grace was not lost on anyone! I miss her presence, but know that she is in a better place, harmonizing in heaven. A la prochaine, Sally!

Sally was a strong and loving presence, a Gift of God to our planet. My thinking is that she is making music with the Creator of the Universe nowadays. Surely, that is a better happiness than anything on "Earth", although maybe Peter was at first a hard act to follow! Joking, Sally. Thank you!

Dear Sally Logeman Johnson, I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the work you've done. Especially your work in promoting Renaissance music, which I love dearly. You and your work shall live forever! Sincerely, Alan Nadosy

Dear Peter and all family of Sally....I have been think so often of Sally this holiday season ! As you know, we were both part of the Waverly Consort "Christmas story". I can't tell you how much it meant to me to be back in touch with her during these past few years, and to see her in NYC during my trips from my home in Mexico. Loved her sense of humor. Will never, ever forget her.....sending love and all good wishes for 2016.

Dear Peter, I was very saddened to learn of Sally's death. She pretty much made the 1960's a time I liked living in and listening to. She did what no one else had thought of, and that is the meaning of true greatness. Your friend, George Backman

Sending my support and sympathies to family members from an old friend and admirer of Sally.

To Peter and Sally's family: We are so, so sorry. She will be missed by all.
Elizabeth and Brian
