I would like to add my condolences to the family. I recall her quite well and fondly from my days as a graduate student at the University of Toronto.

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.
