She died of complications from bypass surgery. Good Lord,I've known Sally since she was in her 20's What a shock,especially the reason for her death. So many of us,including myself have had By-Pass Heart surgery,.with great success. We've kept in touch casually through the years,and it became easier with the computer and emails. In fact I just forwarded her a funny email about women that I had received.She was very much a dog person,maybe appearing a little tough on the outside,but very dog knowledgeable with definite opinions. I can remember--way back( IN THE EARLY YEARS) when we were at a show in Wisconsin,and she and I, with Harriet Schenkus (with her dog AMOR) also Lang Skarda,and Don Kille stayed up all night talking dogs.. Does anybody do that anymore?? Rest in peace,my friend. Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
