Becky has a knack for striking a chord.

I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the column by Becky Galli titled, “What do we keep and what do we let go?“
Not only was the article poignant and sensitive, it was also gracefully written.
Loss can originate from many different sources, and it brings varying levels of sorrow to each person. I am sure that the story will provide readers with an insight for dealing with the inevitable transition from “what was” to “what will be.”

“I always read your column in the Herald-Dispatch with great interest. Being a middle school principal… I found yesterday’s article most applicable to a problem we deal with on a daily basis at the middle level. “Words can do more damage than sticks, stones“. With all the emphasis on bullying in the schools I found this article to be of great interest. In fact, I clipped it out and put it in my files and plan to refer to it when the name calling and gossiping issues arise between students.

I am writing to thank you. I am writing to say how I admire your writing, and your willingness to tackle hard topics.
But I am writing, more specifically, to say how greatly your column, “What do we keep and what do we let go?” has affected me.
After reading that piece, I went to New York City for the unveiling of my Father’s grave stone. Your column wrote about the death of your parents, your pain, your losses, and that of your sister. I admired your restraint in describing the ‘awful-ness of loss.’ So I wanted to thank you, Ms. Galli. Thank you for your emotion-filled reporting. Keep on with your fierce examination of the tough stuff.
It is one way to affirm Life, and the fact that ” IT GOES ON”…….

I am writing to let you know how much I appreciate your articles in The Herald Dispatch. Consider me a fan. Without fail, your all too infrequent articles add the rare literary touch to my morning newspaper.
God has blessed you with an exceptional gift.
