Sandra devoted 39 years to teaching children, while Larry had 36 years driving bus. They enjoyed many years of traveling together to see the United States. Together they cared for a beautiful yard and a huge garden and beautiful flowers. Many hours were spent each summer tending to the garden and mowing several yards. Each fall, the apples of six trees were picked and a marathon of making apple pies was held with the help of family and friends. Sandra had a loving heart, and her house was always open for a cup of coffee and apple pie that was ready to be baked on the spur of the moment.
