"I feel such great loss knowing that "Aunt Sandy" is no longer with us. She taught us all how to love life and each other with her kind ways and contageous laughter. She was always the first person there to help someone with anything. When I think back on my childhood it is difficult to find a memory that she was not part of. From cards night...to torturing the neighbors....to getting water logged in her pool she was always there. I will miss her smile and laughter. Aunt Sandy, you will always hold a place in my heart. Love Nancy"
"No matter how far away I am, Sandy is close to my heart. From doing my nails to letting me swim in her pool to making my wedding cake, she has done so much for me throughout my childhood and into my adult life. I was just her friend, but she always treated everone like family. Sandy has truly reached out and touched many souls throughout her brief life. My deepest condolences and heartfelt sorrow to her family at this time of need."
"Sandy's Family, I shared many happy young family times with Sandy & her sister Joann as I was her cousin Rosemary's friend, I was just so sad when I seen the paper as I did not even realize that Sandy was ill. We were all the same age and its just a shame, her suffering is over and my very deepest sympathy to all who loved her."
"Sandy was an amazing women. Her vitality and love of others is left unmatched by most. Memories will live on in all whos hearts she touched with her kindness, generosity and robust laughter. I will remember you as the sweet woman whos laughter kept me from sleeping as a child on Wednesday nights and as a wonderful person who seemed more like a angel here on earth than a fellow flawed being. Thank you for sharing your profound love with the world Sandy."
"I feel such a deep loss knowing that Sandy is no longer with us. She was always "Aunt Sandy" growing up and her laugh was not only contageous, but she could light up a room with her love for life. She was such a generous person, and there are countless people who have benefited not only from what she gave to them, but the life that she lead and the person she was. The impact that she has had on myself and my family will never be forgotten. Warmly, Amy"
