Our thoughts are with Sandy's family. My mom, Ann Kinney, sends her love. Sandy was one of her best friends and she enjoyed walking with Sandy in the watershed. Thank you for all the lovely years.

I had the pleasure of working with Sandy at Wester Mortgage for a short period. Although I hadn't kept in touch with her I will always remember her kindest and her devotion to her daughter, Anne. May you rest in peace, Sandy.
