Alyssa and Tammie, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of all the fun times Sandy and I had together from our trip to the Bahamas to the many craft shows we did together and the fun home visits. I have never met a person I thought more of. She was kind and helpful to everyone and her talents were unlimited. She will be missed by many people. I will always treasure that warm and friendly smile and laugh.
