I just can't imagine a person who will be missed more than Sandy. She was always a fun person and you can bet on laughter when you were in her company. I will miss her.

I am heavy-hearted to hear of Sandy's passing. She was a wonderful teacher, mentor, and friend. Though I never had her as my teacher, I subbed for her many times. She was a major influence on me going back to school & get my teaching degree. Know her spirit will live on in all of the students, staff, and people she touched.

I didn't know sandy personally but I always admired her for her consistent display of faith. I followed her from Delair kindergarten, her participation at at Veronica's church and then mary queen of all saints. Just watching her from afar I knew that she was a very giving person. I'm sure she is with the Angels now. My sincere condolences to sandy's family.
