I was privileged to have met Sandy in the last month of her life and feel honored to have known her. Truly a remarkable woman. With her very upbeat, positive spirit she always made my day a little brighter. I loved her stories of making cookies or going shopping with her children and grandchildren. That meant a lot to her.
I feel blessed to have known her and her kind husband Bob. She was a true gift to all who met her.

I was sorry to hear that your Mom passed on, keep her in your heart there will never be anyone like her. When I spoke to her at the baby shower she was so full of life, hope and love. She was so proud to be a grandmother again. Know that you are blessed having your mom as a guardian angel for your baby. The love you carry in your heart will never go away only get stronger and she will always be there for you in good and bad times. The pain you feel will ease with time but the memories of a loving mother will last you a life time. If you need anything do not hesitate to let me know. Our thoughts are with you and your family and our prayers.
