SANDY -- Jennifer Sandy In Loving Memory Jennifer Sandy 09/18/77 - 08/29/98 "You know we are all the time coming to the end of things here - the end of the week, the end of the month, the end of the year, the end of school days. It is end, end, end all the time. But, thank God, He is going to satisfy us with long life; no end to it, an endless life." Yes, we have closed chapters and ended many weeks, months and years without you and on so many occasions I wished for your presence because you were the one who could have filled the need or the room with joy. But, instead we get filled when Christ reveals your spirit lives on ...as in your nephew, Tarren's heart, and laughter or in Kylie's beautiful face. Until we are reunited, we are grateful for all He gave us in you and for the time He gave us with you. Your Loving Family
