Thank you Sandy for being so much more than my boss. You were a mentor, teacher, and protector. Your smile and laughter even under stress were always a rock to hang onto in tough times. While we didn't speak much for many years I knew always that my love and respect for you were returned fully.

Blessings to you until we meet again.

Thanks for all the kindness, wisdom, inspiration, great memories, and for raising my Mom and Uncles. Also, you were a pretty good baseball player. You were truly a good person, a great Grandma, and I'll be missing you.
Love, Jason
