To Jay and John,
We were terribly sorry to hear of the passing of Sandra. She was such a kind hearted woman who had an amazing amount of love for both of you,and the boys. I know it is hard,but please try to focus on the good times,and take comfort knowing she isn't in pain anymore. I know she is looking down,watching over the family; heaven definitely gained another angel. If there is anything I can do,please don't hesitate to ask.

Jonathan, I am so very sorry for your loss. I hadn't seen you since you were a little guy maybe 6 or so until transporting you in the cab and while your name was familiar I never realized who you were until just a few minutes ago. You have accomplished quite a bit in your young life even with the obstacles you have had to overcome and I know your parents and grandparents must be very proud of you. Keep your chin up and hold onto the memories while knowing you will be reunited one day and everyone will be free of pain, sickness, disease, and all disability. Love and prayers and I pray you will be able to keep being successful even in your sadness.

To the boys and their families,
I was shocked and terribly sorry to hear of Sandra's passing. She was a sweet woman and though I have known her since my childhood I hadn't seen her in quite some time. I did think of her and her family often, but had lost track of them. I remember well her parents who were also very kind Christian people and they helped us tremendously by seeing we had transportation to church. Hold tight to your memories and know you have yet another angel to watch over all of you. God bless and comfort you in your sorrow. Sympathy, love, thoughts, and prayers are sent out to all of you.
