To the family of Jackiei I lived next door for many years and became good friends of Cindy and Sandy's. Your mother was so talented and always very nice and helpful. She was a wonderful mother. I'm at Loss for words other than I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know about the passing of Sandy until I read the obituary of your mother. Please know I am thinking about all of you. It's hard to loose someone so close.
