Sandra was a beautiful and very intelligent lady. She was a lifelong friend from our early Hutchison school days. She lived her entire life with grace. I will always miss her true friendship. Lida Bross

I have so many fond memories of working on Libertyland projects with Sandra. She was a woman ahead of her times, and I learned so much working with her. May her memory be a blessing.
