As an accordion teacher at LoDuca Bros school of Music, I had the pleasure of knowing Sandy even before this beautiful young lady married Tom. She continued to be beautiful for the rest of her life.
I owe everything positive in my life to the education I received from the LoDuca brothers and Sandy was part of that too.
My sincere condolances to the many people who loved her and I know that we will all miss her.
