United through the love we share for Sandy we will find comfort, strength, and acceptance of God's choice to take her from us.

I will always remember spending time at your house during my teen years and I will never forget the smile you always had for me upon my arrival there! I thank God for the oppurtunity to know you. Also, I want to thank YOU for having such wonderful children as each of them has touched my life in one oddly special way or another! We will all truly miss you but will take comfort in knowing that you suffer no longer and are now watching over us.

Mike, we are truly saddened on the loss of your beautiful wife Sandy and our friend. She will be missed very much by all of us. I wish we had known her longer than we did, but we are blessed to have her in our hearts and memories forever! She was a wonderful, funny, loving, giving woman who loved you and her children very much. We pray that God lightens your heart from the sadness and gives you the best memories of her being with you and her children, singing her favorite songs, laughing, talking, and just being Sandy. She is with our Lord and is no longer suffering. He has made her our guardian angel (Butterfly) and will always be with us. God bless you and your family. We are here for you. With all our love,

Dear Sandy,

I'm so saddened by your passing. Although distance and daily life kept us apart, I know we often thought of each other in prayers. I always cherished the friendship we had.

With much love,
