Thank you for sharing this sad news. My condolences to the family, and while I only met her a few times, I remember Stella fondly.

Dear list members,

I share with you a sad news: the renowned Sanskrit scholar Stella Sandahl passed away yesterday in Toronto. We lost a great scholar and an extraordinary, loyal and generous person.

May she reast in peace.
