You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you Mrs. Fandel! Xo I thank God for such a lovely woman who has been a life long friend to my Mom (and Dad) and family. She was the absolute best Godmother I could ever have hoped for. I have always felt so blessed to have been her godchild. She and Mr Fandel will always be in my heart and by their lives and good example, I pray that I will continually thank God for their goodness and with His grace try carry it on. Love to all you! Big hugs, Terri
