I’m so sorry to hear of Sandy passing! We were childhood friends, and I have such fond memories of our time spent together! She and Holly would stop over for coffee at my parents house and we would talk for hours about old times! I had not seen Sandy in years but when I did it was just like old times! My deepest condolences to Sheila, Stephanie and Jeff!
