Sandy was my right hand person while coaching local athletes perfecting their bowling game and socializing with their peers on Saturday mornings for several years. Until one day, she told me that we were neighbors when she, Bob and their daughters lived in Belmont. She always was kind to the athletes and helped me learn from her experience with them over the years as I was the newbie. She will always be remembered fondly and will be in my prayers. My deepest condolences to her dear family who she loved so much.

Beautiful Sandy. You will forever be missed. We loved seeing your smiling face at the salon. It will not be the same without your presence. Thank you for bringing so much light into my life. You have always been a joy. I will forever miss our conversations, your texts and calls. You were so true in checking in with me after I had the baby. You were one of the most special women I have met and I am lucky to have known you in this life. Sending so much love.
