I was so sorry to hear about Sandra Dowdy. Mrs. Dowdy will surely be missed by so many family and friends. She was so special to me growing up and to my son's father as well. Tracy always talks about Sandra playing the SPOONS!!! That's the one thing that stands out in his mind whenever Branson and Sandra are mentioned. When I was a youngster I always remember begging my mama to let me stay w/ Barbara McLeroy, & Sandra's daughter Amanda Mcleroy, and our many visits & funtimes we shared when Sandra visited!! Not only could Sandra play the spoons, but she was the only lady I ever met that could play a harmonica & made beautiful music! May you rest in peace Sandra Dowdy...
