I remember Sandy and the family as we grew up very close,we were best of friends always getting in trouble by our mothers Ruth and Gladys. We had a lot of fun growing up in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario and miss those days so much. Ken and I were so looking forward to meeting you Tanis and Seeing Sandy again meant so much to me. So sorry we can't make it to the funeral and I hope your family and friends help you through this difficult time. Love April and Ken xoxoxo - Posted by: April and Ken Simpson (Field) (Cousin) on: Mar 31, 2016
