And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." John 14:1-4

I am so sorry to learn of Sandy's passing. I had lost touch in recent years but remember her well from National Presbyterian Church. She was a wonderful, encouraging person, and set such a good example. I remember meeting her in Dakar when she was in the Peace Corps. A few years later when I was in Milan with a friend, she arranged for us to meet an aunt. who showed us around one afternoon. I believe, she had sung at La Scala, which meant a lot to my friend. Sandy was such a thoughtful, generous soul, and I know she will be dearly missed.

May Her soul be blessed forever. She is in my prayers for eternal peace.
