Dear Little John, Rodney, Joyce,Peter and Laura Sue, I was sorry to hear about the passing of Sandy. I knew your Mom for over 50 years. She was not only a good Mom and wife, she was a great friend. She was always there for me when I wanted to talk about my son Al. I will miss our phone conversations. We talked about many things. Our health, TV programs, husbands, kids, grandchildren and the latest gossip. I loved Sandy she was not only my friend she was my sister in-law. Aunt Rosie

Words cannot express how deeply sad I am to hear that you are gone. You are a cherished friend and one of the most good hearted people I have ever known. You always thought of others before yourself. Even though we worked together I always felt closer to you than just a co-worker hence me calling you "my second mom". I am glad you do not have to suffer anymore my friend, rest in peace...you and your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers!
