I worked with Sandy at Sparton electronics. I remember one year at Christmas time. We bake cookies together. What I remember most about Sandy is her love for Fran. She adored him, and it seemed he adored her too. A match made in heaven, and now they are together again. Cindy gave me lots of good advice and I remember very well what she taught me. I will forever have good memories and thoughts of Sandy. My sympathies to the family I know that she will be missed.
