Sandy G

Yesterday the world lost an amazing woman. My 11th grade English teacher, Sandy Gifford, died very unexpectedly. Her sense of humor, her integrity, her instruction, her wisdom, her smile, her laughter, her confidence in her former students, her friendship, her love for life - will all be missed.

Pray for her daughter Amy and the rest of her family. And, pray for her friends who are all grieving the loss of a good friend.
