I knew Sandy when we were teenagers. The family lived on Marrow Street in Hampton. I used to spend the night there. In high school, they moved to Poquoson, where I also visited her. After graduation, we lost touch. My memories of her are very special. May God be with you and your family as time passes. She will watch over you and guide you along until you see her again. Love - Donna Knight

Chrissy, You were a child when I met Sandy in the 80's in the Smithfield GTE office. We also work together in the Battlefield, Chesapeake office. Sandy and I shared many personal matters.She was always a caring,warm,
positive person and no matter what she was coping with, she was always willing to help others. Sandy will be missed dearly, but may you and your family find comfort and peace in knowing how she brought joy to so many. Earnestine

My sympathy is extended to each of you. I knew Sandy in high school and beyond, though I had not seen her in many years. It was such a joy to reconnect with her on Facebook last year. She caught me up on all of the Murdocks and she told me all about her precious daughter and grandchildren. She had a sweet, gentle spirit but loved a good prank. Once at a pajama party in high school, she told us a wicked ghost story and somehow managed to have a book fall off a table that was across the room. The screams were deafening. I hope your happy memories of her soon ease the hurt that you have in your hearts today.

May the peace of God be with your family during the coming days.

Chrissy and family,
Our love, prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Grief can be so hard during the holidays, but our special memories help us cope. Even though we didn't see one another very often I remember Sandy as a very funny and loving person. She was so good to "Moose" until his passing and now they are together again.
With all my love,

I worked with Sandy for 6 years, more closely over the past three years and we grew to be close colleagues and good friends. Sandy ALWAYS had a positive outlook on life and was a strong, resilient person...I will surely miss her and the laughter and joy she brought to so many here at work...may the Lord bless her and her legacy.

It was heartbreaking to hear of this news. I have worked with Sandy for years. I must say she was one of the best and most laid back supervisors Verizon had to offer. She always took care of her employees and stayed positive in every aspect of life. As I walk past her cubicle it seems like she’s away on vacation, maybe on a trip to Disney World with Chrissy, Chrissy's husband and the grandchildren, or maybe on a road trip to Rhode Island. My condolences are sent heart felt, to her family. Find comfort in the memories that you shared with Sandy and warmth in the hearts that she touched. Her family was her life and to her family she leaves her love. We will miss her so dearly but know she had a higher calling.

I met Sandy when she came to the Norfolk Verizon DRC. I was immediately stricken by her smile and joyful attitude. Over time, Sandy became my "go to" manager for company issues as well as personal issues. When I was diagnosed with Cancer, Sandy and I had many long talks, and her caring and loving support helped me through the most difficult time of my life. She was always so supportive and caring. I last saw her on her last day of work, when I walked her to her car and told her I'd see her soon. Her passing was such a shock. This world has lost such a loving, wonderful person. I will always remember her smile and happy outlook on life. Rest In Peace, my friend. I hope her family finds some comfort in these rememberances and the love so many people had for her.

Sandy was a rarity on this earth - a truly generous and loving person. She was one of the nicest people I have ever met, but she also had a delightfully wicked sense of humor. I will miss her greatly.

I met Sandy many years ago since Chrissy and I were good friends throughout the school years. But, I had the pleasure of seeing Sandy a few months ago when I gave her a stray kitten. She was really excited to get the little kitten and she had the prettiest smile that night as she received the kitty. I am told that the kitten brought her great joy & that warms my heart at a time such as this. Sandy and I spoke briefly that night before she whisked the kitten away to a good home. My last memory is her smiling face as I was waving to her when I drove off. R.I.P. Sandy

I met Sandy some 31 years ago when I married her brother, Bo. She has always been an upbeat person, no matter what. Always had a smile on her face and laughter in her voice. The ultimate prankster! I remember back in the day Sandy and her sister Debbie singing,"We are family", along with the jukebox she had in her living room! She loved her family and we all love her too! You will be missed Sandy.
love,
donna

My goodness, the shock I had at the news. I just couldn't believe that the Lord called such a blessing to join his chorus in the sky so soon. Her voice now shines it's angelic tune in the sweetiest gathering of voices. It is us on earth that are missing the beauty of her soul and feel the hole it has left in all of our lives'. I know that we will meet up with you at the Lord's table! My condolences and prayers to all the friends and family!

Although you will be greatly missed Sandy by many for your kind and loving nature and ability to see the best in all of us, God must have surely needed you more to have taken you from us so soon.
May God keep watch over your family and grant them peace with the many memories they carry of you.

I have been blessed to have her come into my life. She has been such an inspiration to me to look at life & make the BEST of a "NOT SO GOOD situation." She always found ways to look at an issue POSITIVELY or found HUMOR in whatever I brought to her attention. No matter what is going on... she always had a SMILE/GIGGLE & funny stories (PRANKS she pulled on someone) to tell. I'm jealous of the victims, that got pranked by her. I even ASKED her to prank me. Just ask yourself if ever in a yucky situation "WWSD?" (What Would SANDY Do?). She will never be forgotten but, she will be truly be missed.

Sandy was a friendly and warm individual. When we were at Poquoson High, she always kept smiling and everyone laughing. She will always be remembered by everyone she has ever met. Class of 72 PHS.

I'm not surprised to see so many people leaving so many loving thoughts and memories about you. You're one of God's special people, well loved by all who knew you. I will miss your lovely voice singing from the top riser, but I know that you are singing in heaven.

Words can't really express my feelings of shock toward the passing of Sandy. It seems like yesterday that we were laughing, and sharing as she graciously opened her home to me and my family when we came to Virginia to visit. I'm blessed to have gotten to see her one last time. It brought back so many memories.I remember Sandy as someone who not only gave alot but took alot and it seemed no matter the circumstances she held her head high and always saw the good.I can still hear her unique laugh and the sound of her singing along to tunes.She will always hold a special place in my heart.Memories are a powerful thing and those we can always cherish. My deepest sympathy to the family! May the Lord Bless and comfort you during your time of need!We love you much!

Sandy was the most wonderful woman on earth. When she sang it sent shivers through my heart. Her smile, It could light up the world she was so full of life. Her love was endless and I will miss her always. It breaks my heart that I was not there for her and I will always carry her love in my heart.
God Bless and look after you Sandy because I will love you always.

Sandy was the finest example of a truly loving soul. She could make anyones day by just smiling, but she did much more than that. If you met her for the first time, she would always say, "Its great that you are here, and I am glad to have met you", or if she hadnt seen you for a week she would always find you and say, "I am glad you are here, I missed you". You always knew and felt her joy of love, life, and devoted friendship. Well, Sandy, YOU will missed greatly. Those of us left behind will fill the hole is our hearts with the memories shared with you. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I will never forget Sandy or her family as long as I live. She was the kindest sweetest lady I have ever known. I will never forget the white van loaded with every friend she knew headed for the drive-in theater. It was always good clean fun. I will never forget taking her to her high school prom. I was so nervous because I had never been to a prom before but she made this event so special that I don't believe I have ever enjoyed anything more. She was a true friend to all and I loved her dearly. During our high school days back in the late 70s when we were all in chorus together, I always knew Sandy was gifted by God with such a beautiful singing voice. I will never forget her standing up on stage doing a solo at Poquoson High School for her first time. Sandy did an outstanding job and I was so very proud of her. I also thought she was the bravest lady in school.
As I travel down memory lane, Sandy, Debbie, Billy, Skippy as well as many others that we hung out with will always be etched in my mind and heart.

I don't know where to start. Sandy and I go back all the way to elementary school in Hampton and were great friends even back then and then we all ended up in Poquoson. We spent many hours at Murdock's store in Hampton. Sandy, the heavens have welcomed a very special angel and your family and friends now have that special angel to watch over us all. May you rest in peace and you will never be forgotten. Your smile, love, and voice will live on forever. I will miss you my friend. My heart and prayers go out to your family to whom I know have a empty feeling today but the love and memories will fill their hearts.

I will always remember Sandy. We met in high school in Poquoson and through her sister Debbie,I got to know her as the cool girl that drove the white van. We drove many miles and many times Sandy thought she was "Evil Knievel" behind the wheel.Maybe not so much when she had to explain to her Mom and Dad just what we had broke,wrecked or drove in the pond(yea I said the pond). How that went I'm not sure, but what I do know is that Sandy loved to have fun and she loved her family and friends.Sandy,I will miss you and think of you from time to time, but I will keep the memories, so fill the van, stop by the Weinner Shnitzle, buy a bunch of hot dogs and I will see you on the screen at the Drive-in.

I can hear her laughter, her kind gentle voice. I can visualize her smiling face. How fortunate we all were to have Sandy in our lives. It's up to us to be kinder, more accepting human beings because of Sandy's influence on us. Sandy will continue to live in the hearts of all who loved her. Thank you Sandy for the gift of you.

This is a huge loss in so many ways and I feel an emptiness in my heart. Sandy was not only a beautiful person inside and out, she was also a lovely singer and performer. She had the biggest most generous heart of anyone I know. I will miss her in song, but more importantly, I will miss her beautiful face, sweet smile and her gentle personality. She was the Queen of Hearts in the chorus and truly loved by all. The heavens have been blessed with a special lady and a lovely Lead voice. May we all find comfort in singing and harmonizing the music Sandy loved so dearly. My heart and prayers are with the family during this sad and difficult time.
