To Dan and Brian, I am so very sorry to hear of Sandy's tragic accident. She cared for me at Dr Reigh's practice for many years and was always kind, knowledgeable and caring. She spoke with such pride about you, Brian, and so lovingly about her son, husband and family during our visits. Please accept my sincere condolences. Please also relay my sympathies to Dr Reigh and his staff and her work family. I know we will all miss her very much in the days to come. I know she is with the Lord and at peace. May God comfort us all.

Dan & Brian:
So sorry for your loss.
There are no words I can give you that will make this easier except we must move on even thou our hearts and bodies may not want too.
I must thank Sandy one last time for all she gave to our Pack & Troop 155's BSA families. She was the best Den chief our Pack 155, took the job without thinking twice, graduated our young boys, her son & my son. Jumped with both feet into the Troop as an Assistant Scout Master/leader till they both made Eagle along with many other boys under her guidance. She then continue to support the BSA at the District Level. But what I remembered most was she was such an avid outdoorswoman, she was much more outdoors then most men. She liked being outdoors with all her hiking, biking and she even did a new Scouting High Adventure program, Boots & Paddle, which she handled with no problem. I was always amazed at her desire and adventurous spirit and I know she had a tremendous impact on many in our community. She was a neighbor, a friend and always a kind and good person to my boys/family. She will be missed physically but not in our mind and hearts.
I am sorry Dan & Brian, that we could not make it to the viewing & funeral. Please feel free to let us know if we can help with anything but also if you need to talk with someone. No one can completely feel what you are feeling, but know that we will be there to lean on.
With Sympathy.
Mike, Nathan, Robert & Christopher Trubilla.
I know my son Michael was there to greet her into Gods arms, as I know he will be there for us one day.

I'm heartbroken over the loss of my "Cous" as we called each other. Sandy will be forever in my heart and I have so many fond memories of her.

To Sandy's family as well as her co-workers,
Sandy was my dental hygienist as well at Dr. Douglas Reigh's office, we always had the best conversations because Sandy and I both shared the Passion of the outdoors and skiing and biking.She was a cool person and she always got to tell more stories because I was the patient and she could talk.I cannot believe she has passed on but I would like to leave you with this sentiment
Take this sorrow to thy heart,
and make it a part of thee,
and it shall nourish thee
till thou art strong again.
Respectfully,Marcy Guest
