Sandra Walpole Handler

I have wonderful memories of your mom and dad from when I was growing up. My mother Dr Gaye Shepard my brother Mark Shepard and I send our condolences.

Sandra was an amazing person . I had the pleasure of seeing Willie Nelson with her and my parents three times! She was a great friend of my late dad Milt . She was very smart , very funny , and took a great interest in people . She will be missed . May her memory be a blessing for all of the lives she touched and may she rest in peace.

We are heartbroken over the passing of our dear friend Sandra. She was a force of nature, and an important part of our Glimmerglass Opera group. Sandra and John visited us in NYC often and we loved our time together. We will so miss her wicked sense of humor, intellect and warmth. Michael and I send our deepest condolences to her entire family and hope you find peace and solace in each other and your memories of her.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I remember that she always had a passion project in process, and was a devoted educator with a sincere commitment to our students. May her memory be a blessing.
