I am devastated by Sandra’s passing and regret not getting together with her in recent years. Do take care, Luz. Perhaps we can connect next summer when we return to the north country for the summer.
Luz and family, so sorry to hear that Sandy passed away. I’m glad I got to see her at one of the Lafayette get together’s at Mystic Lake. I have many fond memories of growing up in Lafayette and hanging out with Sandy and all the other kids our age. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry for your loss.
