I am so sorry for your loss. My grandmother was Ellen (Lettie) McCaulley, who was a sister to Jean (Lettie) Dobson, so I guess that makes me a cousin. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mandy touched a part of us that only a person who battles an unbeatable foe can. In the short time we were together , she made an incredible difference in our life to always embrace the minutes and hours and not so much the days and years.May her heart live on in all of us and give her family extra blessings.
