Mr Buddy, Cookie, Vic and family,
I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. I have fond memories of Ms Sandra from when I worked at the bank. She was truly one of a kind. She taught me alot about life and family. There was nothing more sacred to her than her family. I know you will all miss her but she will be with you always.
