    " On behalf of the entire staff @Carolina Eagle Distributing, Budweiser, we would like to say that we were very lucky to have been blessd by Sandy and her love of her job. She will never be forgotten for what she accomplished at Applebees RR. She raised the bar to another level when it came to promoting a fun atmosphere to drink and eat all at the same time. Before she took over the store, it was down in sales over 20% and for us she moved it into one of our top 5 accounts in a very short period of time. Her sales climbed over 70% in just 3 months. She will be forever rememberd as a "Model" Manager who was always thinking of new ideas to grow total store sales. Please extend my thoughts and prayers to the entire Riedel family. God Bless
