Sanda and Family:



Just heard the news of your mother's passing and we are so heartfully sorry. She was such a nice lady and I really enjoyed sitting at the table with her and Ma Ma at Jennifer's baby shower not that long ago. We had lots of laughs with her that day as she was truly a fun lady!!! You and Lynda were such wonderful daughters to her and your close-knit family will miss her forever. Again, Gerald, Bradley, Katelyn and myself will remember her in our prayers.



I miss you so much so please come visit in Alabama when you get a chance. It surely would be a nice get-away from the sorrow of it all. Take Care Sandra and we all love and miss you!!!
