McCain, Jr. and Roberta Wright McCain; and sister of Senator John S. McCain. Her early years and married life to RADM Henry S. Morgan were spent moving about in the typical fashion of a Navy family.

Sandy participated in sailing (racing and cruising) on the Galveston and Chesapeake Bays and supported Henry's crew for ocean and bay racing. She was an avid bridge player and a proud member of "THE Book Club" of Annapolis. She loved animals, movies, bourbon old-fashioned(s) and microwave popcorn. She passed away on Nov. 6 with advanced mesothelioma in her home overlooking the beautiful Severn River. She is survived by her mother, Roberta W. McCain; brother, Joseph P. McCain; son, Charles R. Flather, Jr.; daughters, Alexandra FM Cist and Katherine M. Morgan; four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Dear Randy,
You, Alex and Kate have my deepest sympathy over losing your mom. It's been a very long time since our Alexandria and St. Stephen's days, but the times I spent with you and your family remain some of my most cherished.
I intended to attend your mom's service today and looked forward to seeing you after all these years to express my sympathy, love and support. However, my car chose not to cooperate as I was getting ready to drive there.
I have read your loving words to your mom and know she is proud of you, Alex and Kate.
We loved our moms and each other's moms, and always will. May you find peace in the fact that she is now at peace, as I found when I lost my mom several years ago.
I can't express how sad I am not to have been with you and the family in person today, as her service is happening as I write.
Please feel free to contact me when time allows.
All my love to you and your sisters, and God bless each of you.
Fondly,
Steve Snyder
