Bill, I'm so sorry to hear about Sandi's passing. The two of you have always been dear to me, definitely on my favorite couples list (at Gippers)! I'm working at Highland Howie's now, so when you are up to it, stop out and we can share some good memories. I'll miss Sandi, I've always had such respect for her, always looked up to her.

We are so sorry and sadden to hear about Sandy. We lived by Sandy and Bill at the lake for four years. I have many fond memories of Sandy grabbing her raft and joining Lisa and I out in the lake, floating around for hours just chatting away. She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed.
