It was such a privilege having the opportunity to not only work for Sandy but to get to know her as a human being. I am so proud to have called her a friend. She was the kindest sweetest person with so much integrity. I will always remember her big smile and zest for life. She was beautiful inside and out and the world has lost a beacon of light but Heaven has gained a very special angel. To Craig and other family members, I am so sorry for your loss.

I will always treasure the childhood memories of growing up with Sandy and her family on Clarita Street. The whole bunch of us had a neighborhood bond that will never be forgotten. I am grateful to have reconnected with her as an adult and glad for the few times I was able to get together with her and other school pals through Heritage Fest, class reunions, and such.
Craig, although I don't know you well, I know enough to say that from what I can tell you are an amazing person and husband to Sandy. You were so lucky to have each other, and my heart goes out to you for the loss of your dear, sweet wife. Your angel in Heaven is at peace now.
