Deepest Sympathy. We were saddened to read of Sandy's passing in the local newspaper yesterday. This must be a very difficult time for the family and you. She enriched the lives of all that knew her including ours and we feel grateful for that. Many fond memories come to mind at this time.I recall the trading post you used to have up here and going to see you there was always special as well as you coming to the office . We hope you find comfort in knowing that others care and are near in thought today.

Lee and Tonya,
I was saddened to see that Sandy has passed on at such a young age. Mom (Gert Babcock) used to work for you and I got to know you all at that time. I thought you both were very good to Mom. I very much liked Sandy and thought she was a kind person. I pray that fond memories comfort both of you.
