This first "Thank You" goes to my dear friend Sandy. We have known each other for almost thirty years now. We first met when I moved to St. Johnsbury, VT from my home town of Newport, Vt in 1983. We both applied for a job at a new restaurant in town, finding that we also lived within a block of each other as well. The friendship grew from there. We went through the joys of raising children, our eventual separations from our spouses, and the realization of a dream of traveling through Scotland together. She has always been there for me through the good times and the bad.
When I decided to move to Arizona, she spent many weekends with me, helping me sort through my possessions, packing and cheering me on, waving her pom-poms. She supported me through my first several months after my move, knowing I was having a hard time, calling me everyday. She is an amazing, strong woman who has been through it all and is still smiling. I am honored to call her a friend.
She sounds like a true gem indeed! Kudos to Sandy..
