Along with numerous loving nieces and nephews. 

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and son in law Roy Rodriguez. 

Sandy was a kind, generous, and caring person who made a profound impact on those she loved and strangers she met. If you were blessed enough to be in her presence you would feel the light of Jesus and feel all the love she had to give. 

To our Mom, Mamo, and sister, our heart and center, you will be greatly missed. Thank you for the gift of faith and the great legacy you left through your loved ones. We admire your strength and will honor you for generations to come.
