Lisa & Family,
We are so deeply sorry to hear the loss of Sandy. She was such a wonderful women!! I will always remember her and Bill coming to all the kids events at school (UE) when they were growing up. They both treated me like family when I saw them. Such caring and kind people. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am so sorry we could not make the viewing. Love & Hugs.
