I wish that Sandy & I would have been closer over the last 10 years. We hardly ever saw each other anymore. I never even knew that she was sick. I know that I couldn't have saved her life but, maybe I could have been there for her & helped her in some way. She was a wonderful person. I will miss her very much. My heart goes out to her whole family. I love you all.
