I will always remember the Davis Circle gang. We had lots of good times, summer cook outs at my house, and we surely did drink a lot of coffee. It was sad that we all had to move off our little road. Then time,and miles seemed to have separated us from our old ways. I loved you Sandy and you will always have a place of your own in my heart. Oh how I wish I could hear your laugh one more time. Sleep in peace with Jesus.

You know how much I'll miss you. My heart aches knowing I can't pick up the phone and talk to you for hours. You saved me so many times when I was younger and ticked my Mom off because of it. Nobody understood the bond we had. Rest peacefully and without pain. I love you San.
