Betty,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can still remember Sandy chasing me down the road with her umbrella. I will carry that for the rest of my life.
I can remember some of the talks she used to have with my mother.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Lana, Dennis, and Butch. God Bless you all.

Sandy meant the world to us. We trusted her with what was most important to us, our sons. We shared a lot of laughs when we would see her in her bus waiting for the kids to let out at Atkinson school. Our first reaction to hearing of her passing was sadness, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. That's because she made so many smile. Your family is in our family's thoughts and prayers.
