Comments Don Clift - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM " Hi Jeanne, " I was so sorry to hear about your Mother's accident! We had so much fun growing up together and your Mom was always a hoot. She spoiled us and let us do pretty much what we wanted! However, we were pretty good kids and they didn't have to worry to much. I hope to make it to the funeral home but want you to know how sorry I am and that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Sandy Sandy Bradbury Alender - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Jeanne and Family " There are no words to express our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. While there is nothing I can say that will ease your loss, I wanted you to know that I am grieving and thinking of you all.
