I recently realized I haven’t seen a post on FB lately and knowing  Sandy has been in and out of the hospital I knew to check her page and my fear was true. We just recently connected on FB after being childhood best friends. RIP my old friend. Jo Tolosky Finley

Paul, Nate and Family,
So sorry for your great loss. Your Mom loved you guys so very much and she was so proud of both you. She loved spending time with you and caring for Dylan and watching him grow up. As you know we were close friends for 35+ years, a long time. We had some great times and saved ourselves lots of money for having our own therapy sessions.I will miss my sweet friend but I am so happy she’s with her Lord and Savior free from the pain of this world. We have been praying for the group plan but she went ahead to prepare for us. Much Love,
Vic & Garlyn
