Sandi was one of the few people I have connected with. And i am ashamed I lost touch with her.
She will be in my mind and heart forever. Her fun and silly and hilarious self. I loved telling her my secrets because I knew they were safe. And now, she is safe. Forever no longer hurt and always in the sun. Shining brightly over everything we do.

I was just informed of Sandi's passing and can't say how sad I am for her family and friends. She and I worked together for almost 2 years - on the phone and email, I never had the pleasure of meeting her in person. She was always sweet, funny and accommodating. We had many a great conversations and the music industry, vacations and working for busy executives. Her love for her children was expressed many times. I will miss hearing her sweet voice for a very long time.

Sandi, we had only become friends recently, as you came by the house during a special time of music recording at our house. I was excited by your new presence in our life and am very sad that we didn't have more time together. May the light and love of the universe surround you and all who loved you.

You were one of my favorite people, ever. If I had know that the last time we talked would really be the last time, I'd have said something more profound. I loved you. So many people did. I will miss you forever. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to your family.

Through the sweetness of young children we catch a glimpse of the parents who love them. In their innocence we sense your assurance, in their smiles, laughs and carefree playfulness we know the fullness of your heart. In this time, through them, you are forever more, held close and never loosed. All Grace poured out, abounding in and around you and your family. Our deepest sympathy
