is it ok to keep the gravy made from that stock, sitting out overnight?

12/26/08 		Oh, thank you. I had left the gravy out last night, this morning my daughter put some on the dressing for a breakfast.
The gravy was cooked good yesterday (Christmas dinner) and was heated and simmering and bubbling when cooked, it was left out overnight on the stove, and my daughter reheated it for a breakfast.

I hope that her bit she used is not going to get her ill.

Yesterday I cooked chicken broth and was still bebbling hot to put in fridge. I've put it in the fridge this morning to reheat it later.Is it safe to eat?
