"Sandy has been a part of my life for almost 12 yrs now, since we started this adventure called Good Sport. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, many, many employees, come and gone, she has been with me. We laughed, giggled, gossiped, grumbled, and sipped coffee, almost every day. From all those many conversations, I know these things. She loved Bob, her children, Dane, all her animals, and going to the cabin. She loved her job, and was proud to work there. I will miss Sandy every day. I know she will be watching over us all, and with God's help, we will all get through this. Love her, and miss her already. Jan g "
"Dear Bob and family, What can I say that hasn't been said? Your loss, is the loss of everyone that knew Sandy. She was so kind, so much fun, and my kind of people. I've only known her for a short time but we hit it off and I so cherish the time I got ot spend with her. If there are "Black Russians" in Heaven, she and Jami are having a good 'ol time, I think. May God ease your pain and know, we will see her again, a little down the road. Jan Daggy"
"Sandy was the greatest! We worked every Monday, Wednesday, and some Fridays together. We had many dear conversations. Monday we were talking about how she loved to go in her tanning bed, she said it was relaxing. She also was so excited that her son was finally getting married. We had many conversations about her grandson, and her wonderful husband Bob. Bob did all the cooking, baking, and cleaning for her. I enveyed her on that! She was always there to ask me how I was doing. I am going to miss those great conversations so much! I miss you Sandy. My thoughts and prayers are with your family! God Bless! -Heath, Tasha, Carson, and Kierstyn"
