August 18, 2018 at 2:30 pmIt was the biggest pleasure of my life to quit my job to come take care of you mom. I will cherish those three months I got to spend with you, laugh, cry and do all I could to make you comfortable. I have fond memories of my life with you and we always had a stale mate playing chess together. I miss you and love you so very much mom!

August 18, 2018 at 11:59 pmTerry and “Sudsy” were some of the first geocachers we met when we got into this hobby 14 years ago. They were always kind to us, and always were happy to see us at events (and we were happy to see them too!). I am so sorry to hear of Sandra’s passing. 71 is way too young to pass on. Our deepest condolences to Terry and the rest of the family.

August 19, 2018 at 12:42 pmI loved Sandy deeply and will continue to support Terry and her family to the best of my ability.
I have the fondest memories of our “Girlfriend Vacation” every fall. Sandy’s devotion to her husband, and her family has always inspired me. She worked diligently when she was able.
My heart is full with the fun and friendship we shared. You are in heaven now, and you are always in my heart forever.
