Dear family, my heart goes out to all of you. Sandy was my other mom especially since I lost mine last year. I know your up there playing backgammon together and bingo. I feel in my heart that the both of you will be looking after all of us guiding as well as protecting with all your love. Kelly, Shelly if you need to talk just call me.( Please) talking helps heal the pain. Don, take your time to heal but stay close to us all. I love you all. Sandy you may be gone but never forgotten!!!
