I met Sandy and her sister ,Lauri, many years ago when Lauri started to babysit me and my siblings. I lost touch for many years but was blessed to have been reconnected with Sandy. We had some very nice conversations, catching up and laughing. Sandy was a wonderful person and I enjoyed the times I got to see her and talk with her. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

Sandys smile could light up a room. She was always the 1st to stand up for what she believed was right.Sandy had the heart of an angle. Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed.

Family, friends, even those who only momentarily met my aunt Sandy, they could all easily ascertain that she was intensely loyal to those she held in regard. That loyalty was matched only by the freedom of her spirit. I know at times that she could be melancholy but she was always quick to crack a smile, then shortly after a rather ironic joke. She always managed to regain her balance and keep moving forward. Though only a small portion of my life was spent in her company she managed to have a profound impact. She always accepted me for who I am and offered words of wisdom when they were needed most. lol She was also quick to tell me to get over it when I fretted or wallowed in the trivial, or, circumstances over which I had no control. "Don't own it if it doesn't belong to you" - These words I will always remember. I know she adored sleeping under the stars, and though it pains me greatly to know that our time has been cut short, I know I can always look up and see her twinkling among them.
