Don, Tom and Debbie, So sorry for your loss. Sandy was a wonderful person and present at many milestone moments in my life. She will be missed. Many blessings and happy memories to you. Dave
Don, So sorry to hear of your loss. I often remember the good times we had at VO. You were great friends. I am thinking of selling my VO place this coming year as at 81 it is getting harder to travel from WA to get there. It is hard to come to these crossroads in life. Sending you good thoughts, good memories, comfort and love at this difficult time.
