I knew Sandra by having the opportunity of being her son’s 7th and 4th grade teacher. She was also supportive and caring! While also on the school board, Sandra and my father became friends. She was a wonderful woman who will be greatly missed! Jordan and Carter, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time!

I knew Sandi from working together. She was my Coca-Cola sales rep when i was a store manager.To me becoming a vendor and us talking in the back of the groceries stores. She was such a beautiful person, sweet, open and genuine. She will be missed.

We are so sad to hear of Sandy's passing. She was one of many daughter's of the Maple Street gang in Spring Lake Park, MN. Our girls spent many hours together. Just glad she is at peace and no more suffering. Thinking of her boys with great sympathy.
