I am deeply saddened by the passing of this wonderful lady. I will never forget getting to spend time make cookies with her, playing the piano, and just visiting. Such a joy to be around, and all the love she had to share with friends and family. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll.

Sandie encouraged and supported me in successfully running for Bryan City Council. We worked together on many projects, seeking to improve conditions for residents of B/CS. I admired her and was honored to be able to call her my friend. I will miss her. B/CS and Brazos Co. have lost a champion. My sincere condolences to her family.
