My heart breaks that we will not share the plans we had together to sit in the field and watch my new home be build. All the gifts you have give me to be put in our new home will forever be cherished. The little blue spruce tree that you gave us to plant in our new front yard has already taken root there, and each Christmas will have a decoration hanging on it with your name. I know you were not ready to go, as we had so many plans for this summer, but He has called you and I know where you are. God Bless you my friend and peace be with your family in their time of grief.

I am devastated by my cousin Sandy’s death. We shared a lot over the years and she was a friend as well as family. I will miss our long telephone conversations about everything and nothing. Red Sox Nation has lost a devoted fan. I mourn her passing and will remember her always with deepest love.

Sandy’s only fault was she tried to help everyone, she had a heart as big as the moon. She was creative, artistic and emailed me some of the funniest jokes I have ever heard. When I had cancer she sent me something funny almost everyday to keep my spirits up. I will miss her crazy stories and sense of humor.She will be greatly missed.
