Extending our deepest and sincerest condolences in the loss of Mr.Sankey. He and his wife Liz were such extraordinary and caring neighbors to my wife Frances and I along with our children. They even continued to keep in touch with our family even after they moved to another neighborhood; through happier times and even during the difficult loss of my wife Frances. The love, kindness, and thoughtfulness that was shown towards our family will NEVER be forgotten. Liz, please know that we are here for you. We will cover you in prayers of consolation as well as be there to lend a helping hand when needed. We love you all.
