Sandra was always a beautiful angel to me. Her kindness and helpful ways will always be remembered. She was there for me to help when I lost my home to a fire. Her friendship then is still a part of my life that I will always treasure. I would give my life for her today if I could. May God bless her Wonderful family.

To the family of my dear friend Sandy. She was a kind caring decent person. When I lost my home to a fire, Sandy and my friend David were the only two people who came to my aid. They worked faithfully searching through the Burns remains of my home to help me inventory a total loss. As devastating as it was to me the kindness and beautiful smile that Sandy had helped me to MoveOn. As a young adult I worked with her mom at Union Hospital for my very first job. And we were neighbors and friends on Blake Street for many years. I will always miss her until the day the Lord takes me home to and then I will rejoice to see her with all my loved ones in heaven. Thank you dear Sandy dear peace knowing you helped many people during your time on earth. May God bless your family.

She was such an asset to Buckeye Career Center and it was an honor and privilege to have worked with her.

We went to South Broadway United Methodist together and she was a good Christian person. Her Mom and Vic are great Christian people that gave a lot of time and effort to the South Broadway church in NP. Sandy always had a kind smile and a sweet heart. She will be deeply missed.
A friend always, Jeff Mathias

To Vic and daughters,
My heart is totally broken this evening. I just found out from my sister DeeDee that Sandy had passed.
She is one of the dearest angels of God and I know that He must have needed her badly for more important work in Heaven. I was not aware of this event till about 30 minutes ago. Shock and grief are in my heart, but I know that God is holding her in his arms eternally. He is taking home the best workers and Sandy was one of the best!
May she dwell in peace, and I pray that I will be good enough to be with her there. I will miss you my dear friend and never forget what a good friend and helper you were to me in my hour of need, when I lost my home to fire. God be with you all is my prayer,

From both of us, we are saddened to hear of Sandy's death far too soon. We remember her as being a true "people person" who loved everyone and consistently strived to help in any way she could. She was a good listener to all, and all left her feeling better. She will be missed. Our sympathy and prayers to her family.

Angels walk among us...Sandy was kind, considerate, and a joy to work with during her time at Buckeye C.C. Teachers, administrators, support staff, and students all loved her. She was my good friend.

Vic, Carol, & Vicki,
I don't remember when I didn't know all of you. I feel like another sister.
It's scary to think that one day we're going to have to to live without our Mom or Dad, sister or brother, our husband or wife or that one day we're going to have to walk this earth WITHOUT OUR BEST FRIEND by our side or they without us.
Appreciate your loved ones while you can... none of us is going to be here forever.
Grief ~ Never ends. It's a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is NOT a sign of weakness, nor the lack of faith. GRIEF IS THE PRICE OF LOVE.

Sandy was always a kind sweet person and loyal friend. She always mentioned her Dad when we talked. Blessings to her family.

An angel taken too soon from us! My memories of Sandy go back many years: first got to know her as a babysitter for my children; later the privilege of working with her at Buckeye. Always a smile on her face; a listening ear; a kind word; never a complaint. She lived her life in such a way that you never had to doubt she walked her faith. Peace and comfort to her family. Treasure the memories of a life well lived. Caring, Ella
