After his service, they returned to Kansas City in 1959, and began a family. They had six children of their own and parented several others along the way.
Sandy never knew a stranger and always shared God's love and joy wherever she went. While raising a family, she served others as a Sunday school teacher and then as a real estate agent later in life with many adventures in between. Throughout her life whenever there was a need no matter who it was, she was always there to love you, listen to you, talk with you, pray with you, and encourage you by pointing you to the Lord. Sandy lived a beautiful life of blessing her family and others with heartfelt acts of loving kindness, just like her Lord and Savior. She leaves a tremendous, love-filled legacy that will carry on forever. To God be all the glory!
