Sandra and I have know each other since childhood. We would travel to SC with our mothers to visit family when our fathers were unable to go. As youngsters, families would get together for picnics, sometimes at Valley Forge. We eventually attended the same High School. As life progressed we saw little of each other until our retirement years when she would come to visit her family in Greenwood. When in SC, She visited my father and I, of course, Clemson was their main topic! Go Tigers!

She was a sweet loving soul. She is definitely continuing to sing His praises now... in His eternal choir!

I know I will miss her dearly...
