I am so sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. She was vivacious with a stunning smile and awesome talent. She was good friends with my sister, Ruth, in high school and I saw her often. My deepest sympathy to you.

So sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. She was always a bright star at Seneca. I spent time with her at the last reunion and enjoyed hearing of her life since Seneca. She was a beautiful and accomplished woman.
My prayers are with you.

Pat ~ My sincerest sympathies at the death of your wonderful daughter, Sandy.

Having worked with you for many years, I know first hand how much you loved your daughter and how proud you were of Sandy's accomplishments. We watched with delight at every tv commercial or program she was on. I remember how much you loved going to New York to visit Sandy and how much you and your mom looked forward to every visit home by Sandy. I wish your sweet mom was still with you to share in your grief. I always loved talking with her on the phone (she was a gem, too, and had such a contagious giggle)

Sandy was so very talented and always so pretty. You and she looked so much alike you could have passed for sisters!

I can only imagine how saddened you are right now but wanted you to know I am thinking of you through what must be the saddest time of your life!

Sandy's life will continue to be remembered by the many talents she shared with all who knew and loved her.

I am Class of '64 and didn't know Sandy well, but did speak with her a bit at the reunion breakfast at Seneca. My best memory of Sandy was seeing her on a nationalized TV commercial, sitting around a table with other women talking about a product. Amazing that I paid enough attention to recognize her immediately! I promptly contacted our local newspaper and suggested they do an interest article on this "home-town girl." The didn't, our loss. Sandy was a beautiful woman.

Mrs. Barry,
I am so sorry to learn of Sandy's passing. I hadn't seen her for many years, but recall the fun times we had together in high school and as we took ballet and tap together at Courtney's and our time together in Louisville Ballet. You are in my prayers.

Dear Mrs.Barry,
I was so saddened to learn of Sandy's death. We graduated from Seneca together and had a fun visit at our last reunion. I did not know that she had been ill. She was a beautiful woman....inside and out. Sorry for your loss.

Mrs. Barry:

I'm so sorry to hear about Sandy's death; I didn't know she was sick.
I knew Sandy from Children's Theatre and the Playhouse. We hadn't seen each other for years but re-met when she was doing catering for David Semonin at Neighborhood Playhouse. She was a lovely person, and I am truly sorry for your loss.
