Sandy and I rode the same bus from first grade thru high school. She was always upbeat and energetic. I'm sorry to see that she has died so early.

Kathy, I'm so sorry for your loss of Sandy.

She was lively, caring, bright, sympathetic, and had a great imagination.

Sandy was my boss at Lockheed. She knew how to get things done. Those blue eyes could pierce through any procrastination or excuses. They also reflected caring, kindness, and her soft heart.

We had many laughs together. I hope I'll be able to tell some of those stories at your memorial gathering.
