May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I know Sandra will be greatly missed. She was a good friend and still is. She helped me and my family a lot. As a coworker I loved talking and being with her. She took care of my brother-in-law. My sister often mentions how nice she and Rita were to them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
