Condolences

  1. Sally–I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through, and the loss of Nev. Sounds like a horrible disease, and I’m sure the last several years have been real tough. My thoughts are with you.

  2. Dear Sally
    It’s hard to be strong at times like these but strong you are. Have peace in knowing how much love you had for each other. Love, your sister, Candy

  3. Dear Sally, I was so saddened to read about Nev’s illness and death. When we were at the U of M, I always admired him so much. I have thought of you over the years and all the special moments we shared. I treasured them. Please know I care and my heart goes out to you. Love and Prayers! Sue

  4. Sally, I am not sure if you remember me, but I was in pediatric music therapy while you and Dr. Isenberg were there. I had great respect for Dr. Isenberg, and was honored to serve on his Cystic Fibrosis Team, both inpatient and in the clinic. I remember him talking fondly of the music at Round Top. What a great loss and I am sorry to learn of his suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have good memories of him. Warmly, Margarita Sims

  5. Sally, my friend, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Although, this is a very difficult time in your life, you have a lot of fond memories to sustain you. May you find peace during this time. I never had the pleasure to meet Nevin but I have heard wounderful things about him.
    God Bless You!

  6. Dearest Sally, Aaron and I were saddened to learn of Nevin’s death. We always looked for you at the symphony never realizing that Nevin was suffering so. May happy memories ease your pain. Please let me know when you will be in Houston. We’ll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs and love, Pat
