Mike and family,
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of Sandy. I honestly cannot remember when I met Sandy, or how I knew her, but my memory of her is someone who was kind, warm and welcoming. I can even hear her voice in my mind, I just can't remember how our paths crossed. I just want you to know, if she could make an impact on me, during a brief encounter, I can only imagine the lives she has touched. Again, my deepest sympathy!

I was so lucky to know Sandra. She had teached my two daughters, and she had touched our lives on many levels. She was one of a kind, no words would describe her. I will miss her badly but I believe she is in a better place now.
My condolences to her family and friends.

Shocked to learn of Sandra's passing. It was indeed a pleasure and a blessing to work with her at several Head Start locations. Rejoicing that she is in the presence of her Lord. Grieving with the family left behind. She was a gem!

Mike and family,
How blessed I was to have Sandra as a friend. My memories of our Iowa State St. Thomas Aquinas get togethers have always held such fond memories. Our all night/morning wedding Party to celebrate Princess Diana's wedding and our live Lobster party were filled with endless laughter. Sandra always was up for a fun time and her laughter was contagious. I am so sorry for your loss. I know she is in heaven. Love and prayers for you all. Julie Barnes-Bengier
