To my beloved cousins,
I’m so sorry for your loss!! Uncle Button was such a grounding figure in our family. He brought us all back together with his kindness to open up his home, for all of us to get together and get reaquainted after many years apart. My family always looked forward to coming down every summer for our family cook out!! I will alway be grateful to him for his love of family, expecially his love for my Mom. I’ve never seen a brother and sister who grew to look more alike then they did. He will be missed dearly!! At least he is no longer suffering and is in heaven with your Mom, his parents, sister and Uncle Charlie. I’m sure those two will keep heaven jumping!!
Praying that your memories will sustain you through this difficult time. Please know that we are all here for you!! If you need anything we’re just a phone call away. May God Bless You & Keep You In HIS Loving Arms!!
With our deepest condolences,
Tim, Sally, Kayla & Jon Sandstrom
