Joe, Clare, and Sally's family - Sally was very special to us, and Diane and I send our sympathies. We can only imagine how difficult her loss must be for you. We all knew that this day would come, but it's impossible to be prepared. However, it is comforting to know that she is no longer suffering. We could see how uncomfortable she was in her wheelchair. Sally had an intelligence and sharp wit that was special. We enjoyed engaging with her at get-togethers and on Facebook. When someone you love and care about is no longer around, there is an empty spot in our hearts, and we all feel it after Sally's passing. Please accept our condolences.
Joe, so sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts and prayers for you to find peace during this difficult period. Warmest regards, Thomas J. Stueber
Joe, I am so very sorry. I just read the obituary and your wife seems so amazing. Your NASA family is all thinking about you now, and hoping that you'll let us know when you need time, space, a listening ear or a little relief from work burdens . Please take care,
Amy Jankovsky
