Well, here we are approaching our 2nd Christmas without Lonna. I still find it difficult to believe she's really gone.
Sometimes I see her in Halle's smile, sometimes in the way she comes back with her quick wit. Halle is so much like her Mother but again very much her own person.
I wish so much that Lonna could see this beautiful child of hers.
Halle is so very busy these days. Always lots of homework and a never ending string of giggling girls. Of course there is the latest heart throb Edward, from the Vampire Series, Dark Moon.Half the girls from the Jr. High Sch. were camped out at the theater for the first midnight showing. She is getting so tall, (standing over me) and quite the little beauty. We go to Church every Sunday where she sits on the front row with her God Mother, Allie and listens intensely to Pastor Frankie, her God Father. We are so fortunate to have these wonderful people in our lives and they just adore Halle.
She will be taking her yearly trek to stay with her Aunt Vicky and Sarah for Christmas. They have such fun and look forward to this time together all year. Buzz and I are still plodding along in Real Estate. Hoping for a better year in 2010.
Hope you are all well and happy and the new year brings you MORE than enough.
My Love to you all,
Sandra
Mother and Daughter

Thank you
God saw her getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so he put his arms around her, and whispered .....Come with me.
Lonna's memorial was so lovely thanks to all the loved ones that came to say good-bye. Thank you one and all. To know how she touched everyone's lives is such a joy. She was truly a blessing not only to me and her family members but to all. The pain of losing her is softened by the knowledge that she waits for us.
When I think of her, I see her beautiful smile and hear her laughter. I miss her so terribly, I miss knowing I can pick up the phone and have a quick chat anytime of day, I miss the secrets mother and daughters share, I miss standing next to her in church, I miss our running errands together.... she was my daughter and best friend. She has given me the most endearing gift anyone possibly could. A part of her, that lives on in our beautiful Halle.
Thank you I will try to keep you updated on Halle and out adventures together.
I'm sure there will be many.
Love to all,
Sandy

Hurricaine Ike
Hi Everyone,
We just got back from the Mundle's cabin in Wisconsin where we took refuge while waiting for power to be restored and the gas lines and grocery store lines to dwindle. It was quite a trial getting through the past couple of weeks.
Halle went north to Janet's house in Denver and was able to see all of the relatives up there. We stayed behind to get the tree off the roof and clean up. Our friend Bob Mundle came in from Corpus Christi and brought up a chain saw and generator. Bob, our neighbor Dan and Den chopped the tree up and managed to do it with no injuries. The house was relatively damage free. Viewing some of the damage around Houston we were really blessed.
I am most anxious for Halle's return tomorrow. She starts back to school on Monday.
I am trying to sort through Lonna's house but finding it very difficult. Thanks to all of you once again. You've given your time, your emotions, your love, your kind donations and so much support. I truly don't know how we all could have managed without all of you. I love you for it and I know God will bless you, as he blessed us with you in our lives.
We'll see you on the 4th of Oct. I will be listing some local hotels in the next day or two.

United Airlines
I wanted to update you on a past blog about United Airlines.
When Lonna came to Idaho she was unable to make her scheduled flight back to Houston.We now know it was her Pancreatitis. She went from my house to the hosptital and never went home. It cost my sister, Halle and my mom over $600.00 because of my sister and her illness as she had to change her plane trip one day.
We called United Airlines but they refused to budge. I called Customer Relations as well as My friends Cindy and Vicki who were also outraged. I sent the president of United a letter informing him of the issue.
Good news United Airlines Customer Relations just sent me a letter and are going to refund the money back to my sister's credit card. Thanks United Airlines for doing the right thing.
Fly the friendly Skies..
