Garret, Shane, Dallas, Cory, Rodger and families may you find peace in your heart knowing your mom/sister/grandma isn’t tired anymore and her health is perfect. Remember her sweetness that she shared with all of you. Her kind words. My favorite is “babe”. She would always start a conversation with “Hi babe how are you or babe it’s good to hear from.” She’ll forever hold a spot in my heart. I sure do miss her.🐄 I just had to add a cow.

Sandy was a special part of the Mann Street “gang”. So many special memories of days and evenings spent playing in back yards, on the street, bonfires, snow forts, Monopoly, clothes line tents, mud pies, family activities, etc.
And on through high school
Rest in peace, Dear Friend!! See you on the “other side”. Condolences to Roger, her sons, her grandchildren. She was indeed a special lady!
