Dad, Crystal, Jason, Erica, and the entire family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Sandy´s passing. To Sandy´s children, Jason, Erica, and Crystal, my deepest condolences on losing your mom. Dad, you and Sandy have been together for over 20 years, and I know how much she meant to you and the entire family. She was your soul mate and I hope you find comfort in the cherished memories you hold and the love that surrounds you during this difficult time.

Sandy´s caring spirit, especially her work with children with disabilities, touched the lives of many, and her creativity and love for crafting will be remembered fondly. She was always so sweet to my girls and treated them as grandkids, and it was clear she was deeply loved and included in all family gatherings. I know Bear Lake held a special place in her heart, and I hope the beauty and peace she found there brings solace to you as well.

Please know that my thoughts are with you all as you navigate through this loss. If there is anything you need or any way I can support you, please don´t hesitate to reach out.

With deepest sympathy,
Kristin

I remember her making jello for me in the kitchen while I played princess dress up games on the computer.

Sandy was our cousin! We didn´t see her much when she was small but got reacquainted as teens when our family went to visit hers. Later when we were both married with children my mom took us to see her and we invited them to come to Hogle Zoo with us! The children has so much fun and we all got to visit and spend the day together. I have tried to connect with Sandy and her siblings on Facebook many times but no answer from her. When putting together a family reunion last summer, one of her daughters, Crystal, responded to my Facebook message. It has been so nice to connect with their family again. I was So sad to hear of her sudden passing and my condolences for her partner, Gary, her children, Crystal, Jason and Erica and her siblings, Bonnie, Dianne, Jim and Mike! It´s been a long time but we love you all!
Love, Sally and William Lewis
