May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I have so many happy memories of going to the farm growing up, and spending many days & nights at the Sanderson home. I will treasure those times always. God Bless.

My deepest sympathies to all of Sandy's family. I have such fond memories of both of your parents while I was growing up and they were both such fine (and fun!) people. I feel so blessed to have known them during my childhood. My prayers are with you all as you face the days ahead. May knowing that your Mom and Dad are together once again, in God's hands, bring you comfort and peace.

We were very fond of Sandy; he was one of the finest gentlemen in Cumberland County. His legacy will live on because of his dedication to so many important programs.
