Sandy was a little dynamo who accomplished anything she set her mind to. She suffered the loss of her dear son and can you imagine the reunion they are having! She was never one to shy away from work, instead she would plunge into it and get it done. God bless the family who loved her so very much.

Donna,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. I am grieving from the loss of my own mother last month. It is an experience that is indescribable. Know that I am thinking of you and praying for your family. May your memories give you peace.

So sorry for your loss, I skated with Sandy back at Oak Ridge when we were kids. Lived near here in portage. But haven't seen her in a long while. Didn't know she was sick.
