    “Hey girl” as Sandra would say, in her phone greeting or leaving a voicemail. This is so surreal to me as I am signing your memory guest page, with a picture and a smile that is still HERE. Thank you for being an amazing grandmother to my sons, and thank you for the 30 plus years of just good old loving family stuff. Your abrupt departure has not been easy, but it is fair! You will be missed so much. Take your rest now with the Lord, you deserve the best!!

    Love Always
    Amelia, Monty, George, and Carlos

I have such fond memories of your mom. She was my mum’s best friend..
