God Bless you, Sandy. My deepest condolences to Liz, Karissa, Dom, Phil and all of her family and friends. I have so many wonderful memories on the baseball field and from spending time in her home with Liz. I was so happy to see her at WalMart on a few occasions when i was visiting. She certainly impacted my life especially on the baseball field. The Tigerlilies were undefeated for years as a result of her awesome coaching and we frequently bested the boys team.
Thank you eternally, Coach. You will be missed by many.
