One of my very closest friends of 50 years although we didn't see each other very often! Now my heart is so saddened! I'm so sorry Brandon! She was one of my 1st friends when I moved here from Southern Calif in July 72. When my house burned down it Dec 72, she had me and my 2 kids (David & Nikki 4 & 5) come stay with her and Brandon in her little 1 bedroom house in Galena! What a house full! I Remember us waking up one morning and the 3 kids had gotten into the flour. Talking about a mess. We couldn't get mad at them cuz it was our fault, they were hungry and bored, so we laughed till we cried! I wish I would have had more time with her. We would lose contact then we'd find one another and take off where we left off like nothing changed! A true sister for always! I love you Sandi and You will forever be with me in heart and soul. Love and Prayers to you Brandon and family! Peace be with you pretty lady❤
