I flew with Sandy when she was based in New York and I treasure the times she and I would share about our faith in God and His love for us. Recently. last summer we spoke again and I was so moved and inspired by her strength and peace despite the circumstances! I called to minister to her...she ended up ministering to me!! ..."well done thy good and faithful child" God bless

When you fly for 19 years, you fly with hundreds of people, if not more. Most you don't remember, others touch your heart forever. Sandy was a forever !
May knowing so many loved her be a comfort at this difficult time.

Sandy & I met our senior year at Fletcher. 1969...ouch! We were the only seniors in our Home Ec class. We didn't have to take it in Virginia. Who knew it was required to graduate in FL. Although we hadn't kept in touch these past few years I would like to think I will be among the friends she remembers. Her mom introduced me to tomato gravy and collard greens. I miss her Dad and I will truly miss her. Betty thanks for calling me. My love to your Mom, Ronnie, Tami and you (and Uncle JL)!

Sandy and I flew together at two airlines and she was always a joy to work with and be around. Lately we have shared another event in our lives, Cancer. Along with some others of our sisters in the sky, we all have taken this one day at a time. I am saddened by Sandy's passing. There is a hole on the jumpseat where she should be and a space in our hearts that belongs to her.

As I try to imagine life without our "Sandra Lee", I am reminded of the most often quoted lines from John Magee's poem, "High Flight".
"Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth...
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
My thoughts and prayers are with all of Sandy's family and with the many friends who cherish their memories of this amazing woman.

What a friend Sandy was to everyone. My life has been enriched from being a part of her life. Aerobics class in the 80's where we met. Sunning on the beach, riding our bikes in the sand. We had much fun running together for years and doing the River Run every year until I moved away. My heart goes out to her family. She will be missed. Although, she is always with us now. Another guide to help me in my life. What a gift.
