Thank you all very much. Sandi was a very honest, loving, caring, devoted person. There are so many words to describe my mother but the people that knew her knew she was an unbelievable person who was funny and fun to be with. Thank you all for your prayers we love you all.

Chris, Steven and David: Aunt Sandi was an awesome person. She always made things so much fun when we would come down to visit. She is the one that taught me how to peel a potato. And I remember she bought me the cutest pair of sandals one summer! I was looking good in those shoes - thanks to your mom! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you guys!
