I finally figured out how to do this. I am not very computer smart. You and your girls have been in our prayers since we learned about the death of Sandy. We have so many fond memories of her. She was such an important part of Rob and Edellweiss's wedding.

Ron, Karen, and Kirsten,



We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember Sandy as the "cool Mom" of my best friend Karen during our growing up years in Prairie Village. She taught me a lot about being a strong woman and I will always be thankful to her for that. Our family holds you all in our prayers at this difficult time.

Ron, Thank you for sharing Sandy with us all over here. I am imagining Sandy being given a real estate job by St Peter. Who better than Sandy to match the new arrivals to their rooms in the Heavenly Mansion? I bet the decorating angels are on overtime!
