Sending love and prayers to you all. Sandy will be missed by many. She was just at our house on the 24th, talking up a storm about lots of things. She was so looking forward to her time she was going to spend with her Abby "Jo" and how she loved her. We will miss seeing her, she was a great joy in our lives. Words can not express how heartbroken our family is for you all and for Bruce. Love, Paul, Cindy, James and Abby.
