As I sit here trying to find the words to say to help ease your pain, I realize only time can can do that. l have so many wonderful memories....sitting around the kitchen table, laughing, drinking, all the while Sandy typed out our entire conversation-without a typewriter I must add. Convincing me to go snipe hunting whilst 5 months pregnant with our eldest child, only to find out I'd been set up. These are just a few of the wonderful memories I shall hold close to my heart. Today as you bid farewell to your wife, mother, sister, aunt & friend, know that although you can no longer see her, she is with each & everyone of us in spirit & in the memories we hold so dear. Until we meet again Sandy...I love you
