I first met Sandy one day when she came into the restaurant that I had worked at in Burlingame. Sandy handed me her business card and said that she handled travel needs well that was the start of a wonderful friendship. She had arranged two trips to London and one cruise to Alaska for me. She was a wonderful and funny person her took her job very serious. Sandy I am so saddened by your passing you will be missed.
