I worked with Sandy for 14 years at FinanceAmerica - Awesome smile, warm personality and always dressed classy! We shared the same Birthdate of August 31st and continued to send B'day cards to one-another. To Live Is Christ and To Die Is Gain... Philippians 1:21. You are now in His Holy Presence and Loving Arms!

My deepest sympathy to Sandy's family. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Sandy at the Finance Company, and have some great memories. She and I went to Hess's one Saturday morning, back in the early 90's and had a 'glamour shots' makeover and photos taken. We had some good conversations and walks too. Also, Sandy was so knowledgeable about the County.

She had it all, looks, personality, smarts and was a class act. I miss you Sandra D.

My deepest sympathy to Sandy's family. Sandy & I both started at the County the same year. We walked many mornings together from our parking area to our work place. We never forgot each other and would see each other with her family & my family at the Trivet's Restaurant always on a Friday night. I will miss you Sandy you were a good friend. I know you are at peace.

Sincere sympathy to Sandy's family, friends, and former coworkers. Sandy was one of a kind who had a great personality, caring and compassionate demeanor, and an all around good person and classy lady. Her sense of style was right on, always looking like a million dollars. I got to know Sandy when we worked for Lehigh County and am so glad I got to know her. She is now free of pain but leaves behind many who treasured her being. RIP Sandy.

Sandy, We know you are in a better place but we still miss you. You probably know a lot of people, just like you did here. Oh and make sure you go over "Rainbow Bridge" and give all our pets a pant on the head, especially Xena.
Enjoy your new life, the drakes

Sandy, it is your gain -- not to be in pain and misery anymore -- and our great loss. I will miss those goldielocks, that darned smile, and our walks and talks -- whenever I walk about town I will look up and smile back -- so glad to have met you, Sandy! -Sally Harris
