Roger and family, I'm am so sorry. Sandy always inspired me with her courageous struggle and her strong faith. When I was converting to being a Catholic, she always encouraged me and kept me on the right track. I will always miss her.I know she was always greatful for you Roger, for always being there for her and she was concerned for you not herself. Keep your faith very close to your heart and by doing that you keep Sandy closer to you because that is what she would want.
God Bless, Lou & Jen Tucker

Her faith was strong thru all the years of suffering she endured and I pray that God will continue to shine on all of you during the coming days, to put you at peace with her passing.

To the Lavallee Family,

My love and deepest sympathies are with you during this time of sorrow. Sandi was an incredible woman who enriched many lives. It was she who helped me to find the faith I now have. In countless ways, she was always there. Its difficult to believe that she is no longer here. It was a blessing to have known her and she will always hold a special place in my heart.
Know that her spirit will live on through you all. The only solace in this is that she is no longer in pain. She will be truely missed. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. God Bless
