    We were saddened to hear of Sandy's passing. She was so kind to our boys when we would visit her and Aunt Rose in Eau Galle many years ago. We would have lunch and she would show us the chairs and quilts they were working on. Her smile and laugh will always be remembered. Sending our love, Liz (Gifford), Jack, Peter and Thomas Jensen
