Dick: This comes as a shock to Hans & I. Sandra emailed Dec. 23 about her diagnosis, but we never expected this! Sandra was such a unique person, one whom I admire and have the deepest respect for, and proud to call my friend. I'm sorry that we didn't get together as often as we wanted to, which makes the last dinner party that much more special. You have our deepest condolences and support in this time of grief.

We are so saddened to hear of Sandy's passing. She will truly be missed. She was a wonderful lady who was very smart with a great sense of humor. She was an animal lover and that in itself made her so special.
