I met Sandra and Frank at the Costco Pharmacy in Az. Sandra was the kindest upbeat human, even on bad days she shared her loving stories of her kids and grandchildren, you always knew her family was the light of her life! To Frank and family I hope healing comes from the memories and love that she created.
My condolences

I had the pleasure of knowing Sandy for many years working in Pediatrics at Palos Hospital.. she was a very dedicated nurse with a kind personality and a great sense of humor. Unfortunately we parted ways in our careers and lost touch.. RIP SANDY, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Heartfelt condolences to your family and friends. Kathy Kozera

When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of beautiful memories in exchange. Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness. When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help. Love you and miss you Sandy.

Sending sincere condolences to Sandy´s family. I worked with Sandy at Palos Community Hospital for several years. I loved her sense of humor. Rest easy my dear friend.

Sandy, you´ve been on my mind the past year quite a bit. I knew you moved to Arizona but boy do I wish I had a contact number! As things happenwhen paths in life send us in different directions we lose contact. Memories we have shared will always be intact though. May you now be resting in the arms of Jesus. You were a wonderful colleague and nurse. Your sense of humor still brings a big smile to my face. Will always remember our years together in Palos Pediatrics, so glad I got to see you at your "retirement tea" and will never forget our friendship. Rest in Peace, my friend!
