    Karla & Brent,
    My deepest sympathy on your mother. She was the most kindest person. I’ll always remember her when we all were little and playing together at each others homes. I’m sorry I’m not able to attend the service but please remember I’m thinking of both of you.

    I am so sorry, John, at the lost of Sandy. I went to school with her at Gower, so
    we have known each other for many years.

    I’m so very sorry to hear of Sandy’s passing. She was a wonderful lady with an amazing sense if humor. She was dedicated to her family and would share stories many times of her grandkids. She was always willing to go listen to blues or jazz & I distinctly recall her sassy green Sunfire car. Her love for life & laughter were contagious; whenever she was around, good times were guaranteed. I hope the many memories of her smile & laugh help ease the pain of her absence.

    It is very difficult to express the sorrow felt for you and your family. It is my belief that heaven is filled with the love we give while here on earth. Sandy is surrounded by that love and the love each of you have given her. God bless and comfort each of you.
