Dear Aaron, Mario and the Peterson family, I am very sorry to hear about Sandra's death. My deepest sympathies to you all. Sandra and I were co-workers while she was at Robert Half. When we talked about non-work matters Sandra always talked about her family. She loved all of you very much. She greatly enjoyed the time she was able to spend after work with her family and friends. She had a wonderful smile and laugh that I will always remember.

Sandra was a very wonderful and caring individual. You will be so greatly missed. I am so glad that I was able to share w/ her the love of horses. My greatest memory was when Sandra had me saddle up Toby for her and she rode last year. She was so happy and enjoyed every minute of it. YOU will forever be in my heart Sandra.

Sandra was my supervisor for a year at Robert Half. She was brilliant, kind, intuitive, encouraging and one of the best bosses I ever had. She handled tough issues with strength and immediacy. She never complained despite the many challenges on her desk and at home. I am sad to learn she is no longer on this earth. Dan Epp
