Ms. Sandy will be greatly missed by many! She was always so loving to all and always had words of wisdom to share. Words from a Jeremy Camp song come to mind: "There will be a day with no more tears; No more pain, and no more fears; There will be a day when the burdens of this place Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face". Prayers for your family in this difficult time!
