I was looking forward to seeing Sandy next month at our reunion. We had a delightful time at our 50th. Sandy was always a lovely person. May she be at peace.

Sandy was a wonderful classmate at St. Francis Academy. We all were planning a high school reunion in September and Sandy planned to attend. I will always remember her great smile and the wonderful times together. God bless her and her family.
