So sorry to hear about Aunt Sandy, she was always so caring, fun and bubbly. She makes me smile to think of her and and she was a very giving and loving person. I have many fond memories of the summer visits and always looked forward to family reunions to see you all. I am so glad we were able to see you both at Aunt Pam's birthday party,the summer before last. She still had her sense of humor and I enjoyed the time together. We are thinking about you Uncle Gary and Jay and family and you will be in our prayers. Love, Robin, Jon and family.
