I am so shocked and saddened with Sandy´s passing. Her cheerful demeanour was always demonstrated at swimming and our chats in the locker room always lead to a laugh or two. She was a good friend. She is deeply missed by many of us at the pool. My deepest condolences to you Hannes as you navigate through your tremendous loss of your dear wife. Sending love and hugs. Vicki Thorne.
