Our thoughts and prayers are with Bucky and the boys in this very difficult time. I have great memories of Sandy laughing and full of life, during our summer visits to Des Moines when I was a child.
I know Sandy was loved so much by her family, and she in return loved them back tenfold. Hopefully this will give some peace and light to the situation.

Dear Bucky, I was shocked when Jeff called me with this news! I cannot put into words how sorry I am for you and your family! You have sure had more than your share of trials in this life! No more for Sandy, now she is with your Kevin and her Mom & Dad! You will see her again one day! No words can heal your heart, but hopefully the love you shared will be all that you need to get you through this!! Some people never know that LOVE!! You are heavy on my heart and in my prayers!! I owe you both for the love you showed to my son for so many years!! You have been such a wonderful friend and father figure to Jeff at times when he really needed one! I know how much he loves both of you!! For that I am forever grateful to you both!! Heaven has your Angel now and she is in a beautiful place, I believe this with all of my heart & soul! May God lay His healing hands on you and may you find peace! My prayer for you!! Sioux Chiodo-Newberg
