We want to send a community BEAR hug to Sandy Buttweiler who lost her brother Bill last week after a courageous battle with cancer.
Sandy has the voice and heart of an angel. She has been passionate about building awareness of Lend A Hand resources and local events to help families battling cancer and other serious illness. Now, it is our turn to send our prayers and well wishes to her as she grieves the loss of her brother Billy.
We know how much you loved him. Hugs to you Sandy!
