I will always remember Mrs. Nettelman for her sweet and kind gestures. It was always such a treat when I called to talk to Krystie, and Mrs. Nettelman was watching the boys so we had the chance to chit-chat for a minute! She loved spending time with Tyler and Jake...you could tell it in her voice! She always asked how my daughter Holly was doing, and remembered her with gifts and cards.

She has left her legacy of love through her family, and I am glad we had the chance to know her.

My heart goes out to Dick, Leanne, Richie, Claire and Lillian and all the rest of the family. We lost Sandy way too soon. Sandy and I met in 7th grade and kept contact over 49years of growing up,getting married, having children and grandchildren. She always had a kind of knowing look behind her smile. God Bless this strong and loving woman and help her family and friends in our grief.
