May this light be bright forever for you.
Sandy, I will always remember you, with your positive attitude, your big heart, your crystalline soul and your contagious laugh. You were an inspiring woman and were always a good and true friend.

Sandy was such a vital and positive energy; I find it hard to believe she is no longer with us. She was a big part of my life when I lived in California and remained a good and constant friend even after I moved away. I will miss her spontaneity, her sense of humor and her wonderful laugh. Me Ke Aloha Pumehana Sandy.

I just heard the sad news. Sandy was a great friend and artist. Her landscape paintings were beautiful and meaningful. Sandy was always up for a museum visit or architecture tour. She will be missed by me and many others. Our summer painting workshops will never be the same.

We enjoyed knowing Sandy through the Monday Bridge group at the church. She had a wonderful positive attitude and will be missed by all who knew her.

I remember Sandy as a consummate professional, good designer, and a leader. We were both part of the Los Angeles Chapter ASID and on many occasions worked through chapter problems and projects. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.
