I wish I could be there with you guys. Sandy was a wonderful woman and so supportive of everything. My deepest condolences to the immediate family Spencer and Brian. I know you two will miss her greatly, but remember look in the mirror close your eyes and she will be there. No matter where you are and what you do she is there step by step. It means a lot that I can’t make this, I really want you guys to know I am here.
