Dear Mike,
I so very sorry for your loss. I certainly understand the loss of a mother. My mother and father are both gone and there is not a day that I do not miss them. You have wonderful memories to comfort in the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear John and Family,
I was soooo sorry to read Sandy's obituary in the Evening Capital. I won't be in town to attend her services, but I wanted to offer my sincere sympathy to you all. Sandy was a very special lady, and I well remeber our trips together to Pittsburgh and especially to Morocco. We had so much fun laughing together and worrying about how to do everything "right." I didn't realize until I read the obit that we also were sorority sisters in Delta Gamma.
With Tom gone, I know I will miss him forever, and I know John, that you will feel the same way. Your writing of the obit really touched my heart and really described what a lovely person Sandy was. My deepest regrets to you all !!

I read the obituary in the Capital and loved how it was written. I understand, John, that you wrote it. It was playful, loving and done with humor -- all the traits that I remember Sandy for.
I cannot tell you how much I will miss her lovely smile. It just lit up a room. Not to mention her warm heart and infectious laugh. To be around Sandy was just to feel comfortable, loved and happy.
Whenever I think of Sandy, what I will remember most is that I never saw her unhappy. Though I'm sure, like all of us, there were her down moments, nevertheless she had a cheerful attitude that she always exhibited. Despite the struggles of the past few years with Bill, and her own health, she always had a smile and a hug and a warm word to share with those of us who were blessed enough to have known her.
And I do mean blessed. I feel very fortunate to have known her, and happy to have had time to spend with her at church events. I always left her presence feeling very positive -- to me, that will be her legacy. Whenever I remember her, I will simply feel happy.
