As we get older we think of those of us who have gone before. Sandy was an important part of my life. A wife to my brother, and a Mother to my niece and nephew, and a friend to me. Many good memories in California and Idaho. She is one of the people I think about and miss. Hope to see you again someday, but no too soon. I still have things to do down here.

Sandy and I were bestest buddies from the day I met her in clothing class (1960)at Canoga High. Went through many ups and downs together. She and her Mom and Dad were family to me. So, save a place at that Italian table for me. With love and sympathy to her family. Sharon

Cindy,
I know this Mother's Day will be extra hard for you, you have been deep in my thoughts and continue to stay strong.
You were very lucky to have such a close relationship with your mom who was such a great lady and a fabulous cook!!!
But what I will remember the most about your mom were all the little trinkets and figurines she collected..... I was amazed at how each time I saw them they were always DUST FREE :)
I was so fascinated that she kept them all so clean... looked like a fulltime job to me.
Frank, I know this has got to be especially tough on you, I will also keep you in my thoughts and I'm so glad that you have your family so near to be able to lean on during this very difficult time.
Rest in Peace Sandy

I'm so glad I picked you out of all the angels in heaven to be my mom. You were the best. I borrowed you for only a while, but I know I'll see you again. Say hi to your mom & dad for me. You'll always live in my heart. I love you mom. From Brat #1

Sandy and I spent alot of time together from 1962 to the 1980's. The memory that comes to mind was in 1973. We would spend every Wednesday together doing needle work and watching "Dark Shawdows" on the TV at her home in Canoga Park. She was a sweet person and a good mother to my niece and nephew. And she could really cook some good pasta.
Rest well Sandy,
