Some of the best times of our lives were spent with Sandy and Audrey traveling to bowling tournaments and many years bowling in league together at Summit Lanes.
Sorry for your loss.
So sorry to lose a life long friend. Grew up together as neighbors and remained so through our high school years. Time and distance separated us after HS but met on vacations and HS reunions.
Will always remember..
