Sandy, Bill and family,
"Mama" will always have a special place in my heart. As with many others, she treated me like family from the day she met me. "Mama" shared in the joy as my life changed from being single to married but especially to becoming a Mom (during which time she kept me well fed!).
Sandy and Bill, you were both very devoted to "Mama" and always made sure she had everything she needed and that she received the best care possible.
Rest in peace "Mama". You will be missed. With love...
