Henry, very sorry to hear of Sandra’s passing.
Besides being a great friend to my parents, you and Sandra were always very fun and welcoming to us kids as well growing up. And so our memories of Sandra are of a kind, upbeat person that made you feel appreciated.
Whether we were stopping in with our folks while trick or treating, or visiting to check out the cattle and barns cats, we were always welcomed warmly and looked forward to visiting again.
As we grew up we really came to appreciate you and Sandra, and our thoughts are with you at this loss, and we feel grateful to have had a person like her in our lives.
Deepest sympathies
