You will be missed by your Agawam family.

You will be missed

I also lost touch with Sandra after high school. I did get to know her in high school and remember her kindness, sense of humor and enthusiasm. Memories of her sweetness will remain with those of us who knew her.

I'm a childhood friend of Sandy's - living across the street on Vassar Street in Springfield. We graduated from Classical High together, then lost tough as we both went on to college, careers and family. I'm saddened that we now live in a world without Sandy. My thoughts and prayers are with you Beverly.

Our paths crossed often while teaching in Springfield and when she became a principal in Agawam I was delighted to receive a call from her to visit. I will always remember her bright smile and genuine laugh.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
