Dear Michael,
I only met Sally a few times, but I could feel her kindness and love! You were both special to my brother, Keith Barket, and I could feel your compassion and love when we lost him. I know it´s hard to loose a loved one. I hope all of your wonderful memories bring you much comfort! Thank you for all you did with my brother!
Sincerely, Kim Barket Luongo

Our families have known each other for many years. Over the last ten years Sally and I bonded in a very special way. I want you all to know how much I cherished our friendship. Good friends are like rare jewels of life--not easy to find and impossible to replace. I will miss my friend.

So sorry to hear of Sally's passing. In the years that I had worked with Sally on her's and Michael's homes in the Berkshires, I had come to know her as a truly wonderful and caring person. My wife Joanne met her just this last fall and aptly described her as a woman of tremendous grace. I personally will miss her.

Sally and I were just beginning to become friends. Every time she and Michael visited the gallery or I their home in the Berkshires or NY I glimpsed a very compassionate woman and devoted husband who both adored their 3 children. And I saw great respect for Sally and Michael from them.Sally you will be sorely missed, as we were just on our way to a beautiful friendship. I wish I had been able to spend more time with her, as many others are probably thinking. She had the biggest concern for others and a huge heart. xoxo
