We have been blessed to know Sandy and are so sad to hear of her passing. Sandy was so amazing to me back in high school and always smiled when I changed the dishwasher dirty/clean magnet and was so amazing when Leticia and I visited back when Elise was just a baby. May her memories and blessings to this world help during this difficult time.
Love,
-Rafe, Leticia, Elise, and Aiyanna

Remembering my dear Aunt Sandy, who was always so kind and loving. I will cherish memories of fishing at Lake Andrew in the summer and celebrating Christmas in Sioux Falls. Sandy was so devoted to her family and was a real light in this world. We will miss her. Love, Jessie
