Sandra Laria Cottingham

I am going to miss her dearly Arvin

Sandra aka Candy was the first person I meant in 1974 As my new neighbor. I was 12 and she was 11. Not only we lived next door to one another we became best friends Not only we where best friends we where Sisters. Candy and I had so much fun together as teenagers growing up. We did wild and crazy things together as teens. But had fun doing them.. I remember we use catch the number 36 bus headed towards downtown. Get off at Fayette Street at the Police Headquarters and say out loud! we tied I don't feel like going to work at the station tonight. Wanting people on the bus to think we where Baltimore City Police Officers even we where just 16, 17 years old. At times when the bus stood at Red light. We would run across the street so people on the bus would see us walk to the Police pretending to go in Would about how silly we where. But our true destination was the Inner Harbor. With pen and a small piece of paper ready to get phone numbers from cute guys. To My Best Friend , apart of me left where you departed from us. No more worries and pain. You are good hands. Until we meet again My Best Friend My Sister Diana
