REDMOND — For Alex and Katie Whitaker, the basketball court provides a temporary escape.
It is an escape from grief.
It is an escape from heartache.
It is an escape from the reality that their mother is gone

Note from Bob Yoder/Seattle Times Partner: My daughter Lexie, has been friends with Katie, Alex and Ben since pre-school. My wife Pam, sat in the bleachers with Sally for seven years watching Katie and Lexie play Mustang basketball. We attended Sally's Celebration Memorial on January 30 with ~500 others from the "Whitaker Community". I was too emotionally involved to report on this and told Mickey I wished to show my respect for our beloved Sally with silence.
