We are saddened to learn of Sallie's passing and regret not being able to visit you in person. She put up a good fight during her last years, thanks to Don and all his support. She was a very special person. Our condolences to Don, Aland, and other family members.

"Hendy" was easily one of the most influential teachers I had in my life. She inspired my love of reading, theatre and performance, and her influence was instrumental in my decision to minor in Theatre in college and eventually become a teacher myself. I will never forget her passion for English and Theatre, or the many lessons she taught me. Thank you, Hendy.
