Not sure what to say?

Such a great lady - and a real dynamo! Sandy and Chuck were like a second set of parents to me during my high school years, as I was always with Casey and Chris, and at their house so often on Holly Drive. She and Chuck were very generous to the McGreevy family when we needed it the most. A life well-lived - condolences to Linda, Casey, Holly, Chris, Vicky and all the grandchildren, and her brother Jim.

Sandy was a wonderful person ,I shall miss her.

Dear Linda, Casey and Chris, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dearest mom. I have such fond memories of her. She always looked her best and was ever so friendly. I remember walking down the street to recite Bible verses and creeds to her as she was my confirmation sponsor. I also remember the neighborhood parties that she hosted. She will be missed.
With sincere sympathy, Pam and Herb Simpson

We will remember Sandy fondly. She always welcomed us with open arms. We will think of her as we enjoy the festive Christmas decorations that she made for us.

Sandy was an active member of the Red Hat Society and volunteered a great deal at her church, First Lutheran Church Strongsville. Sandy was always known as a great hostess, you never walked in her home without being offered a huge smile, a warm hug and a drink! Even at the end, she was always asking people what she could get them!
