Aunt Sandy,

I am so glad that we were able to spend some time together, I so much enjoyed your storys and your laughter. I will miss you very much and I am so sorry that you had to leave us so soon. I know that you are at peace now and no longer in pain, for that I am Thankful. Please give kisses to Grandpa, Grandma and Holly.

Thank you for all the times you took care of Jen and I, for all the love you gave, but mostly for teaching us how to fight and be strong in life everyday and to never take the ones you hold close for granted.

I love You!

To the Riehl children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with you."Sandy" loved you all very much.She was always willing to help anyone, in anyway she could.She was one of the bravest and strongest people I'll ever know. She had many health and personal challenges, during her adult ife, but it never deterded her determination to move along in life and or to get well.She was my sister and I will truly miss her.She will now rest with our dad, and I look forward to receive them both back in the resurrection.
