I was so sad to learn of Sandy's death. I really enjoyed meeting her and Brian at a Young Democrats Conference, and remained in contact with Brian through YD's. I can't imagine how hard this must be for Brian and for Sandy's loved ones whom I never had the chance to meet. I hope you find strength and comfort in one another until, in time, the pain of losing her gives way to the joy of memories of the happy times you had with her.
