“In loving memory of Mary Sands, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I met Mary in 1998 in Medjugorie. She was a wonderful mentor to me giving me lots of advice on marriage and parenting. We ended up being sisters in Carmel. Will miss you, Mary. Rest in peace with your dear husband Floyd.”
