I will miss your passion for life, excitement for family accomplishments, devotion towards those things you held dear and giving spirit. Diana, Cody and you were amongst the first we met on our new journey. We welcomed the waves, the chats and the community news you offered. It will be difficult not seeing you. Christmas lights always danced across the brisk winter night's from your house and warmer days beheld a patriotic spirit. In my heart you will live on, fondly. I will remember what a blessing you were and how welcomed we felt. Your relationship with your kids and grandkids were a beautiful testament of love, friendship and pride.

Sorry for your loss, may you find comfort in Revelation 21:3 "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Sandy was our next door neighbor for a decade, and we came to love her as a dear friend! We would often talk, several times a week, including standing in our shared driveways, for over an hour at a time, sharing much of what was going on in our lives to world events and everything in between. In the winter, it was always a race with our daughter, Chris, to try to get her driveway shoveled before she could get to it! She sometimes beat us to it, with quite determination, despite her health condition. We will truly miss Sandy!
