To the Editor:

Thank you, Gina Scala, for the article about Sandy Medford (“One Year Later, Family Ties Help to Heal Broken Hearts,” 3/10). She was my friend for over 50 years. I loved her family like my own, and I think she would want us to move forward together.

I can still hear her standing over my shoulder from next door saying, “Yooooohooooo, Jackie!? Where’s Stacy!?” and the kids would run across to our house to play with the dog who lay in the sand under the house.
