Sandy is missed by her Opera House family. She was a mainstay there, and we loved her as our MCOH mama. I will never forget those good old days. Peace be with you, Sandy, and with your surviving family.

Sandy will be missed. She was a kind, caring lady who loved to be involved at the Opera House. A walk or drive up or down Broadway was all the more fun when you could wave at Sandy or stop to chat for a while. Condolences to Don.
