Eric and family,
Were so sorry for your loss. I actually knew Sandi from the Ithaca Yacht Club when we were very young! We knew each other through high school! When I saw her at a reunion, I didnt know you were married! What a pleasant surprise.
Youve had a wonderful life together. We hope those memories and your family help you through these difficult times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Sandra and I worked together at Brooks Pharmacy in Ithaca just before she became an airline stewardess. We had a lot of good times going out dancing after work on Friday nights. She was a great friend and I have always felt sad that we lost contact after she moved away. But it certainly sounds as if she had a fantastic life and traveled as she had always wanted to do. My thoughts are with her family now, you were blessed to have her in your lives. And yes she did always have a smile.

Dear Eric and family, I am so incredibly saddened to hear of Sandi's passing, and my most heartfelt sympathies are with you. Sandi was such an amazing person who brought joy and laughter to everyone she met. I have so many wonderful memories of spending time at the lake with her when I was was young and such wonderful memories of time spent with her in WI, FL, and Chicago. What a tremendous sense of humor she had! She was just such a bright light in this world. My heart goes out to all of you. You are in my thoughts. Much love to you all.
