Sandy and family. I have very fond memories of spending 4 years living in your home made beach cabin in the 70's. The storms were scary but the time spent gazing at Orcas, seals, herons and other wildlife will never be forgotten. Very sorry to have lost contact over these many years. You and Marie always shared great grace, humility, generosity and smiles.

Blessings to the family in this time of sorry and joy in being able to share a small part of this great lady's life. We treasure our memories of apple pressings, potlucks, sailboat raft ups and holiday gatherings. Our prayers are with the family.

Sandy and Bonnie...sorry to hear about Marie. She and my mom are probably talking about the cows and chickens. Thinking of you...Donnette Elliott
