So sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers with you all during this difficult time. Sandy was a beautiful person inside and out and inspired me to become a nurse.

I lived across the street from Sandy for years when our kids were young. We were like sisters. We spent countless hours playing Scrabble while our kids played together. When they moved we sort of lost touch over the years. She was a very special person and will always be in my heart until we meet again. Rest in peace. Love you

Met Sandy from another friend and went to Black Hawk College with her. She was an amazing person, friend, mom and always a joy to be around. So sad to hear that she left us so soon. Everyone who knew her was blessed to have met her. Caring, loving lady. RIP Sandy see you again soon.
