Dear Kimmels we are praying for you all in your loss but rejoice that she is with her Lord. Remember that you will be together a lot longer than you will be apart, thanks to our loving Master!

Our family has been blessed to have known Sandy Kimmel as family since the marriage of David Kimmel & Ruth Bartholomew. We will miss her, especially when we celebrate the holidays, since that is when she and Ron were usually with us to share their love and friendship.

Dear Kimmels,
Although I only was privileged to spend a few hours with Sandy on two separate occasions here in my home, she endeared herself to me immediately. We developed a quick friendship. She was an amazing woman with a very giving heart and a wonderful smile. She was such a blessing to me. Janet Heckathorne (Becky Gravley's mom)

So sorry to hear about Sandy's passing. We worked together at Lost Creek Care Center. I had a huge fear of needles and she helped me get over that fear. She was a great lady, always had a smile on her face and was very sweet. She will be missed...
