The earth is envious of the heavens, for the light that she was is now there. May the gentle light of love and peace that was Sandy shine down on us all and bring comfort.

So very sad to hear of Sandy's passing. Sandy and I were childhood friends and we re-connected after so many years. She was still the same lovely woman I always remembered. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'll always remember how Sandy would give me a big wave and a smile as we came into camp. She was a hard - worker too, always volunteering when there was work to be done.
We lost a genuinely kind soul, when we lost Sandy. My condolences to Steve and the Macero Family
