I just was looking for Sandy's address to send her a Christmas card and found this. So sad. She was a second mom to me growing up in Cicero, working at the Jewel together for years, etc. We lost touch long ago but I always considered her, John and the kids family and good friends. I wish I would have known about this when it happened. My deepest sympathy to John, Scott, Becky and Greg and the rest of the family. I will always cherish the good times we all had together. Lots of love to you all.

Scott, you were blessed with an amazing mother. The love she felt for her family was evident and abundant. I know first hand the pain you're feeling now. I pray that soon memories of her love will replace the pain with comfort.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
