She will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and the love she shared with her family and friends. Sandra had many longtime friends who stood by her throughout her journey, and her family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to all who visited, offered support, and helped care for her at home. A special thank-you is extended to her children, Lisa and Chris, for their unwavering love and dedication, and to the staff at the Sister Caritas Cancer Center for their compassionate care.

I met Sandy in 1977 when we rented an apartment side by side in Easthampton Ma. So many laughs and some sorrows that we both shared. We remind friends after we moved into homes and even after I moved to NC. She was fun to be with and always was ready for an adventure with me. I was always missing a turn and we had to turn around which she always got a kick out of. I love you and will miss you my dearest friend.
