I was very fortunate to meet this sweet Lady .I could’ve sat and listened to her talk all day.You could see the Love shine from her eyes that she had for her Children.I am so sorry for your loss .She was definitely a Wonderful Loving Momma and a Beautiful Soul . Love you Laura Aka Sandi with an I .My thoughts and Prayers are with you all.
I loved y’all’s Momma so so very much. I was truly blessed to have been able to have spent time with her and all of you kids. I loved her story’s about her and my Grand parents, in her words they were big big buddies. The last thing that we were able to say to each other was I love ya, i love ya, I love ya and gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug. She was a one of a kind. One of the most loving people I have ever met. Truly an Angel that walked on this earth.
