"So sorry to hear of your loss Garth and thinking of you in this time of sorrow. Im also remembering what a wonderful person and partner Sandi was. They dont make them like that anymore."
"I have nothing but good memories of Sandi. The time I spent with her was always sweet. We talked of life & love - she adored her family & we laughed together talking with the entire family about who was the ornery child, who was the nice child, etc. She spent time with my daughter at the farm in Missouri, making wreaths from the native flowers & grasses. I adored her - I'm sorry that she gone from this world but I am glad that her suffering is over & she is spreading joy above. Love to the family."
