Sandy, Please accept my sincere sympathy for you and your family at this difficult time. You may not remember me, because I was just a little girl when our family boarded our pony at Mr. and Mrs. Kearns' farm. I remember you doing my hair and your husband showing me where to find things and what to do when I was learning to take care of Sugar. I will never forget his kindness.
