Sandy my friend, I am still thinking I can call you and ask you a question. I miss you more than I thought I could miss anyone. I know you are back home, feeling no pain and loving the love you are receiving. I always follow wherever you go and I will most certainly follow you where you are now, back in our forever home of continual love. Your friend Liz

I will truly miss your beautiful personality. You were always optimistic. You always had a good story to share. Fun, whitty and always appreciated a trip a casino buffet or camping or some other fun activity. You always had respect for others. Whether they deserved it or not you always had a good word. My prayers for you Sandy and for your family. May God take care of you in heaven. I'll say prayers for you. I am privileged to have known you and call you a friend.
