Richie, Lynne and Justine,

It has been a long time since we were 13 and hanging out at your house all summer long, and I look back at what went on and all I could think about is how Sandie helped me deal with what was going on in my life and she did not even know everything then. She did not even think twice, I was a part of your family and no questions were asked. I love Sandie as if she were my own mother, and the sadness that I feel will never be replaced. If you guys need anything please don't hesitate to call on me. I will miss Sandie, but my father, Carol and Sandie are up in heaven looking down on us. That is what has gotten me through the last 16 years, and I hope that you will take a look up and see your mom smiling, because whatever happened in our short stay of life, she always smiled and made things brighter than they were. To the rest of the family(Cinda, Katie, Jimmy, Kim and family, and the rest of the family ) My heart goes out to all of you in this time of need. I will love Sandie and remember her forever!!!

God be with you and your family.
