I met Sally in a writers group that I joined in the late 80s. She was intelligent, had a quick wit, and a clever sense of humor...and she was a good writer, willing to help novices become better at the craft. She will be missed by many.

Sally and I used to meet weekly to critique and help each other with our writing. She was so smart and helpful. I learned so much from her. I’m sorry for everyone’s loss.
