I was looking for my old elementary school teacher and came across this. I remember Mrs. Herzig, she was my 2nd grade teacher and she always had a pink can of Tab on her desk :)

Sally was a vivacious participant in my OLLI poetry class over several semesters in recent years. She told us that she used to teach poetry, and that was evident in her deep understanding of the works our class discussed together. I'm sure I speak for the whole class in saying our hearts are with you at this sad time.

"Out-Worn heart, in a time out-worn,
Come clear of the nets of wrong and right;
Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight,
Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn."
From "Into the Twilight" by William Butler Yeats

Sally always had a smile and a cheerful word for her OLLI classmates. We shared many classes and many trips, both short and long. She´ll be a happy addition to heaven.

I was so sorry to hear about Sally's passing. I knew her from OLLI courses and trips. She had recently been on my mind. I hadn't seen her since before covid and wondered how she was doing. I always enjoyed spending time with her.
