I can never say anything that would ease your loss, but my heart and best wishes are with you both. Sandy was a true treasure to me as an in-law and I will miss her, as, so will you. I am positive she will be with you in spirit and guide you through this terrible time. She loves you both and will inspire from within your heart. I pray that you find comfort in her spirit of love.

Dearest Lee and Albert,
My heart aches for you. Sandy was a dear woman, artist, and sister. Due to distance I didn't know her nearly enough, but I treasure the times we were all together. Her art will remain to radiate her beauty forever and I will always love her and her work. Know that I am loving you both dearly and wish I could somehow alleviate your pain. I pray for your comfort.
Always,
Darlene
