Sandy and family~ My heart breaks for you all. The first time I met her she was dressed to the nines. WOW! She made a statement!! As I was lucky enough to be able to spend time with her, I found that she was very easy to talk to. I loved laughing with Edith, she always seemed so mischievous when she laughed. She was very special, and I pray that your sweet memories help you through this difficult time. With love and prayers, Beth Emerich
