Friends of Sandy

Lots of loss this year - Sandy was a good friend all those years ago, and apparently held onto that beautiful smile and great hair.

Of all the obituary notices you've sent along regarding our classmates who have passed, this one really hits home. I can hardly get my head around it.

My parents speak so fondly of Grace & Niles and how thrilled they were to have Sandy!!

I was so saddened to see Sandy has passed. She was the first friend I had at FM when I transferred.  Always had a beautiful smile and heart.  She's in my prayers.

Oh my gosh this is so sad. I haven’t thought of Sandy Tice in a long long time but she was my first high school date to a dance (how awkward) and I had a crush on her. RIP Sandy. Condolences to family and friends.

Sandy was one of the best people I have ever known...I always thought I would get to see her down the road...now I never will...if you have been putting off catching up with an old friend...don't

This is so sad. Sandy was among the kids who attended the "little school house" next to
the main school on Pleasant street in Manlius There were just too many of us baby boomers to fit elsewhere . We were  friends  through grade school. I have many fond memories of her sweetness.
 I still remember where her house was along Troop K road by the creek and always thought it was a cool spot.  I saw her once in the early 80s but that was the last contact. I'm sorry she has left us at such a young age.

Sandy was such a lovely girl; I am not surprised that she became a lovely adult as well. We have lost way too many this year.

Reading these posts are like a sad stroll in time.  No sense in hurrying through.  Faces flash back in your mind along with the "what if".  I was not aware of how many of our classmates have already left us, a bit of a shock.  Our brains play a joke on us and we still think we are the young person we once were.  Debbie, thanks for all you have done and do to keep us together.  I never felt I really had many friends in FM, we have discussed this quite thoroughly, but I realize a great number of us felt the same.  God Bless all the souls that have left us.

Like Ralph Braun expressed, it is just so sad to see that Sandy has passed.  There was a special bond for those of us that attended "the Little Schoolhouse."  She was very special, such a sweet, pretty girl.  I didn't know her after we grew up, but I do feel privileged to be able to call her a true friend while I attended F-M.  She will be missed.  Prayers go out to her family and friends.

Thank you.  So hard to loose so many so fast.

Friends of Dave Courtwright

Ralph Braun

I'm very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I knew him well as a kid. We lived fairly close. Perhaps you know that he served in the "brown water navy" down in the delta area of Vietnam.  I believe he was stationed on a PBR (patrol boat river) among the many rivers and back waters there. None of this may be familiar to you but the point is,  many areas of Vietnam were heavily defoliated with agent orange, in particular the Mekong delta. There is no doubt in my mind that his illness was directly related to his service. The illness that was mentioned is on the VA's list , presumed to be related to agent orange poisoning. There were other highly toxic agents used all over the country but agent orange tops the list of killers.

It's very sad that people who served this country have been paid back with poison that doesn't show up until much later in life.

We will all miss you brother.

So very sad. We have lost so many classmates. I was going to meet up with Dave during this trip to Syracuse. I have not visited with him since 1965 but many Facebook conversations. I waited too long. But this gives me the opportunity to tell the rest of my classmates I have so many great memories of F-M and many of you. It gives me the opportunity to tell you all how much your friendship means to me, even though much of it is on Facebook. It gives me the opportunity to say thank you for being a part of my life and wish you all the very best in the time we have left. It gives me the opportunity to say ... In Jesus' name. God Bless...

Dave Courtwright, I don't remember well.  I know we went to school together, most likely had some classes together.  It's 'funny" how things work out.  We became friends again, on FaceBook, and my husband, Ed Cranford, and Dave shared their Vietnam experiences together, often.  They were the brothers that anyone who was in that war become.  He will be missed by us both.  Our prayers go out to his family and friends.

Thank you.  So hard to loose so many so fast.
