Fellow Daisy Ashley Newsome aka Sash, shares her Sally stories...

Sally and I have been friends for more than 25 years!! My favorite memories of Sally are far too numerous to list or remember but I will try to list some of the more meaningful ones . . . . hanging out poolside at Sally’s house trying to perfect our tans with baby oil slathered on our bodies and lemon juice in our hair singing to the GoGos . . . Sally’s perfection of Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance – it was impressive! . . . our most notorious escapade that we will always be remembered for in the Horchow house -- our failed 8th grade post-party at Courtney’s house . . . we have traveled extensively together from Nantucket, the Bahamas, Minnesota, to Mexico at times finding trouble but always with a keen focus on boys, sun and fun . . . the Madonna concert! . . . the night Sally said to my Dad (after we’d had a few too many drinks) with complete surprise in her voice—“Dr. Newsom, my Dad has an outfit just like that!”—he was wearing a tuxedo! . . . summers in Nantucket . . . summer nights in Dallas (“You don’t need no jeep!”) . . . Sally’s 30th bday party in Palm Springs . . . and many more. But most importantly when I think of Sally I think of her unwavering friendship, love and support that she has given me over the years. I was looking at photos of us this week from 1984(!) and the thing that struck me was how little Sally had changed physically! She looks exactly the same! (What’s the secret??) And she is exactly the same loving, caring person she has always been to me. The love and devotion she showed to me when I was very sick when I was 14 (and I will never forget) is just as present today in my life. Sally warms my heart and I absolutely treasure her as a friend. I love you Sallers!!!
