Sandra was my ex mother in law. A very caring person of all she met. She truly had a extremely grand love for all animal's. Weather old or new born with no mother. She would get whatever needed to care for them and I she would become their surrogate mother nursing them through to thrive and be healthy. Including squirrels. She tought me through watching her that I have done the same throughout my life. As of right now because of Sandra I have a few cat's I rescued from young and 3 kitten's that I'm taking care of that survived from 2 mother cat's that gave birth to a totally of 12. So I am very grateful to Sandra for all I have learned not just about animals but about loving and caring about all things including artists and people.
She was a woman with a gentle soul and will truly be missed.
May You Rest in Peace Sandra.
Kevin Mulcahy.
