  138. Dear Bobby, Stephanie, Andrea, Ryanne, family and friends:

    There is not a day that has gone by since I heard of Sandy’s leaving this world that you have not been on my heart and in my prayers. I have thought of the many times we all spent together as family over the years; and, during the loss of my own mother and dear f end to all of you.
    I have the last painting here that my mom did of an Iris and then Sandy took the old milk can and finished it for a wedding a gift….of the laughs they had together and how they learned from each other. Now, they are reunited once again; however, the place they leave in our hearts to fill can be very painful.
    I choose to ,look at the fact that they are present with the Lord; and, give thanks for all the precious memories they leave with us.
    Sandy was a great wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend…I can still hear her laughing.
    May the Lord bless each one of you; and, as He promises, He will comfort those mourn. Many mourn with you and I pray that He tucks you under the shelter of HIS wings.
    Love and prayers,
    Rhonda & Cliff

  139. Just heard!! I am so sorry for your loss. I loved that girl and have since we were 12 years old. There was no one like her and I will continue to think of her as a best friend and remember all the laughs we had together. My thoughts are with you all. I mourn with you. Love Barb
