Sandy and Mike were favorite friends and clients of mine. We shared many stories together and always talked about our families. Sandy loved her family so much ! She was a very interesting person, never dull !!! It has been many years since we have spent time together, but she will be missed by myself and my husband Gary. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the Lambdin family.
