Sandy I want the world to know what a beautiful, personable and dedicated person you were and just how much it meant to me to have you as a best friend for over 62 years! I have so many memories of us...

After your wedding we always stayed very close. So close that when I got married, you loaned me your gown which fit me as perfect as it fit you. Together we were always. Your personality and friendship was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I will truly miss you with all my heart and I thank God for all my memories.

Remember in 2007 we vacationed in Palm Island, S.C. By we, I am referring to Joan (Zwonetschek), Janet (Young), Marilyn (Eckler), Susan (Bryson), you and me. What a ball we had living together in a spectacular house on the beach. We each had a bedroom. Janet, you and I slept downstairs, Marilyn had a bedroom on the main floor and Joan decided to take the bedroom on the third floor. After talking with George, I would go to your room and we would talk till early hours in the morning, then finally I would retire to my Bedroom to sleep.

My deepest sympathy to your son Wayne and his family, to your daughter, Marianne and her family,
to your wonderful sisters and their families, Andrea, Marylou, and Rosanne, to Dolly's family and to your significant other, Andy Schmidt.
You are now in the hands of Our Lord. Thy God and you have everlasting life. You are and were loved by many, including me and you will be and are missed by all.

Sandy will always be remembered as a Pleasant

Sandy was a great gal, she always had a smile and happy greeting. She also had a bit of an imp in her! We always had plenty of laughs, remembering the trip to New York City for New Year's Eve! About 10 of us in Fred Dawson's caddy.
May you Rest In Peace dear Sandy!
