Remember Me
Don’t remember me in sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears,
Remember all the laughter,
We’ve shared throughout the years.
Now I am contented
That my life it was worthwhile,
Knowing that I passed along the way,
I made somebody smile.
When you are walking down the street
And you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps
Only half a stepbehind.
So please don’t be unhappy
Just because I’m out of sight,
Remember that I’m with you
Each morning, noon and night.

I was a childhood friend of Sandra when she and her Father lived on Sherman Avenue. We enjoyed many fun times as teens together, maybe a little to much fun at times. Good memories! After school we would take the bus uptown and go to her Dad's gas station to check in, he was a happy fellow and always glad to see us and would treat us to a very scrumptious hot fudge sundae at the Badger Candy Kitchen every time. Sandra and I spent lots of our summer days going down to the UW campus piers and sunbathing until we were burned and then go home to heal. So silly when I look back, but we loved every minute. Sandra played the clarinet in high school and was quite good at it. I was in her wedding and shared the celebration. When her first child, Todd was born it was such a thrill, I considered myself an Aunt, but really wasn't. I cared for him as often as I could, to help out. Rest in peace Dear Sandra Fitch, as I knew her, 'til we meet again. Elizabeth (Liz Steensrud) Jones
