One of the wonderful memories I have of my kindergarten teacher from 2000 is she would always bring her hamster to class and put it in the ball and let it roll around freely. She is one of those teachers that you look back at old pictures and say...she made my first year at Applewood Elementry as a kindergartener a great one!!! She will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Craig and all of Sandy's family,
My sympathy and prayers are offered to you. I'm so very saddened to learn of Sandy's passing. I was talking with Bill Crawford just yesterday about you and Sandy and how both our classes are losing so many classmates.
