My deep sadness at the loss of a lovely and courageous lady. Seems like 2016 has been a tough year for the Class of "62. She is in a far better place. God be with the family throughout this time.

So sad to lose another member of our Elizabeth City High School class of 1962. I remember Sandra as a very sweet girl. May she rest in peace.
