"Retta McMullen Jan 14th 2021 Sandy and I were in the restaurant business for 11 yrs together in the same building with 3 different restaurants there. F.B.I. Jackson's and Ice House! We had so many laughs and now with Sandy gone and the building gone I see how fleeting life is. Sandy had many friends and loved her family with all her heart! Stacey you and your children were her whole world! She loved you all with every fiber of her being! She is watching over you all! I will miss her miserably! I gave her my new phone number but she didn't call. I have been calling her until yesterday when the phone was no longer working. I just realized today she is gone!
