We will always be thankful for the love and friendship we shared with Sandy for over twenty years. One of our favorite outings
when she lived in Baywinds in West palm Beach was Bennys on the Beach. Only because that was the only place she knew how to get
to. Horrible with directions.
Our thoughts and prayers to the whole family. She will truly be missed.
