Dear Larry, Ernie and Chris and families, I am so sorry to learn of Sandy's death. She and I were classmates at WAHS, and enjoyed spending time together with my kids and hers when they were little, along with Carol Siwy and her four. Larry; I was visiting Sandy in your Allentown apartment the day Kennedy was shot. Your mother phoned her with the news and she passed it on to me. Sandy was one of the very kind and sweet people I have been blessed to know. I wish you peace and comfort, and joyful memories of her and how she touched your lives. My best wishes to each of you. Sally (formerly Schaffer) Luckenbach
