I will always remember Mrs. Minard as a gentle, warm, generous, patient, loving friend. She made a huge contribution to me as an artist from my age of 15 to my present 57. She and Walter have always been two of my favorite people on the planet, who through their generosity and love have empowered me to be generous to many people. Sally will always be remembered by me and my wife Nancy.
Love, Your friends, Emil and Nancy Sauer

Love to the Minards, Zimmermanns and Limbachs. Tanta Sally was a wonderful woman!
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
