Joe, Joy, Jody, Jill and Jory I am so very sorry I can not be with you on this sad day but know that I am there in my thoughts and in my prayers. Sandy and I were friends and room-mothers at St. Hugh's. She was such a good person with a great sense of humor. I shall miss her dearly. I know God is holding her in His gentle arms. God be with all of you. Love and prayers.

I met Joe in 1970 when I joined the police dept and he took me under his wing. He brought me home for dinner every time we worked together and I became close to Sandy and watched the girls grow up. 47 years later, even though we now live in Texas, We are still vry close to Joe and girls. We are devastated by their loss.

A meaniningful life is not being rich, being popular, being highly educated or being perfect. It is about being real, being humble, being strong and being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. No better words describe Aunt Sandy. She touched so many and will be deeply missed. May she rest in eternal peace.
