Uncle Clint,
I was really grief stricken to hear that Aunt Sandy was Diagnosed with cancer, it really shook my world to have some one with such strong characture and iron will secome to this.
She will always be rembered by as a person that told it how she saw it and that was just the way it was. I will truely miss her and will always think apon her for the great times we had. Especially when both of you came down and visited me in Florida after I finished bootcamp, and all the time she wouldn't let me win a cribbige.
Thank you for the great times and memories.

Uncle Clint, Mike, Linda, Jeff,
I was so sorry to hear the news of Aunt Sandy passing. I know there is nothing that I could say that will ease the grief, just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Instead of focusing on the pain and sorrow of the moment I like to think of all wonderful memories that I have of one of the biggest personalities I have or will ever know. The only person that I know who could tell Dad where to go and get away with it. She saved me many times from having to eat something that I didnt like with Charlie, you leave that boy alone, its the holidays and if he doesnt want to eat it he dont have to. I carried that tradition on with my own boys, holidays were exempt from healthy eating, and cleaning your plate. Thanks Aunt Sandy! :)
That is one of a thousand memories, but it one of my firsts and it left me in complete awe of her and that feeling never went away.
Aunt Sandy, you are and will forever be loved and missed.
Dave, Christiane and family
