So very sorry to hear of Sandys passing. Heartfelt condolences to all of her precious family. Too many years have passed since we've seen you, but had some wonderful times together...girls trips, mystery parties, cards, the 'Oh Ship' we built and all rode down the river! You were an amazing lady!! Until we meet again...
