Sandy was a BIG part of my school life. Always making you smile when she was around with her big smile and caring hugs. Around town you always knew it was her by the VW bug she drove. I am so sorry for your loss Michael..

I knew Sandra working with Mac at GTE. I could be sure to see her at the York Fair and we would laugh and catch up. She was a caring person with a beautiful smile. RIP and be with Mac!

I believe I’ve seen her either at Northeastern School or at Super Thrift when I worked there and I always thought she was so nice and had a beautiful smile. May she Rest. So sorry for your loss.

Thank you for cheering us nurses up with your basket of chocolate! It might seem like a small gesture but it meant so much. Thank you for the years of decorating the nursing unit, for your work in activities. You were an angel then and now you are an angel with our Heavenly Father. I will miss that beautiful smile and your laugh. What an absolute wonderful person you are. Rest In Peace my dear friend. Love, the girls from Normandie’ Ridge.
