Sandy was one of the sweetest women I knew, so good with the kids. We’re going to miss her at Young Elementary.

Sandy was always so very kind to me. I worked with her in the deli as a high school/college worker. She taught me what good work ethic was, and she showed me how to do things in such a kind, constructive manner. I have taken her skills throughout life. I have always appreciated her kindness and great work. And I have seen her many times since then and she has always been so warm and kind. I am so very sorry for your family’s loss, please know how impactful she was on my life, even though I am...

Sandy was always smiling, very nice and "bubbly".

To Matt and Dan. Your mom was a classmate of mine (LTHS 1975). She always had a smile when I saw her. I am so glad she attended our 50th Reunion. May God wrap his arms around you at this most difficult time. Prayers for you and the rest of the family.
