My favorite memories is when we went to Buffalo to see you all and Sandy,Lisa, me and my older sister would go to the basement to play on Briscoe Ave. while the grown ups played cards etc.. we had fun in  a few snow fights, then it seems all a sudden we were all grown with our own kids you came to California and we had a good time together when I had been married to my only husband ever now ex... but Patrick liked you well as everyone else always you were a beautiful person, woman, cuzn, auntie, sister, daughter,Mother and grandma all around friend to all I love you cuzn see yah when I get there sweetie love U mizz U till then ...what ever pictures I had I cannot find at this time but maybe if I come across one from when you were here in the early 80's or late 70's my kids were lil tiny then ...as for a song I have them all on my other pc nothing downloaded so I cant but my song for you is "I'll be seeing you"<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zWLUL5_oChw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Trinci’s other grandmother will be sooooo missed.  I’ve said it many times that ‘Sandy had the biggest heart,’ her love for family, friends and animals could not be rivaled.  In the short 8 years we knew each other we had so many good times, Thanksgivings, Christmas’, Trinci’s Birth-Day, skiing, floating and much, much more.  Sandy, you were a wonderful mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law and you made our family complete. I know you will be watching over our  children and family…

It has been a long while in person but not by text or phone her last words to me are on my face book as my Ma'her auntie Janet suffers so badly in the hospital my cuzn was so sweet about comforting the hurt inside from so far yet when talked felt like she was right here w/me calming me down... she has always accepted me loved me from no matter how far the distance from New York, Montana or where ever she or I were she gave some kind of call or info, to check in on us over here...her caring lovable spirit embraced me always when we talked she was strong minded good spirited happy and one of my favs...I know her most truest love of life was her daughter Dayna, loyalty to her Ma Ida Kopan, and recently her proudest lil bundle of joy her grandbaby girl Trinci Blue! I know Sandy was always busy, a hard worker, loved life full of life and made lasting impressions on everyone that met her she was so beautiful inside and out ... a true gem the Lord has called home that this world could never meet another one like this beautiful cuzn of mine...I luv U so much girl hugs to Lisa and Uncle Norm and the rest of the tribe we lost in our family  see yah when I get there In Jesus Love always R.I.P Sandy! I will miss your calls and text and Loving talks!
