I know this message is late in coming. I started an on - line friendship with Sandie about 2007. We were both interested in doing the Longpre family genealogy, Ron being my 2nd cousin. She was happy to respond to my questions and even shared a photo with me. I felt a kindred spirit there, a lovely & humorous person behind the words. Then she went quiet. I am grateful to have been blessed with her friendship though briefly.

To the families of Sandie and Ron. Sandie and Cheryl,Nancy and Georgie, Uncle George and Aunt Joyce thank you for sharing family time with me and my family. Our families had drifted apart thru the years. Through FaceBook I was able to locate Sandie-her response when I was finally able to talk with her was "awesome". She was looking for me as well I remember her saying "I told Cheryl we found our Vanessa" how great being pulled back to the family. My one regret was not being able to go to the family reunion last year and being able to catch up and meet new members of our family especially Ron. And Sandie and Ron's children and grandchildren.
I want to let the families know you are all in my prayers and I am sending love along too.
I love you Sandie.
