Dear Bill and Family,
It was with great sadness that I learned of Sandy's passing. Sandy and I both taught 1st grade together at Fleetwood Elementary for the first six years of my teaching career. She was a very creative, innovative, and talented teacher who inspired all of us.
Losing a loved one is never easy...but as you look back over time, I hope that you will find comfort in the many special times that you shared together and in the many memories that you have made as a family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
