I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Tandy's passing. I grew up right across the street from her in Grass Valley. She was a very nice woman and was always welcoming us into her lovely home for a visit.
I remember at Halloween she always gave us King sized Hershey bars. When we had children of our own, we would take them trick-or-treating to see her where she continued the tradition.

Please accept my sincere condolences. May your family be comforted at this time.
