We have been searching since last July for information on Sandy in order to invite her to the class of 1956 French Lick, IN High school reunion on June 17th of this year. Unfortunately we were too late. Sandy was a dear friend when we were in high school together. Regretfully we did not remain in touch over the years. Sandy and I were in a parade together in which we rode on the hood of a 53 Studebaker. I planned to send the picture of Sandy and me to the reunion committee to be included in the reunion book. I said to my husband let's try to locate Sandy one more time before we send the picture to the committee.



Sandy Panos was a joyful person. One of my fondest memories was of a slumber party she held in her parents apartment in the local hotel during the winter season when every thing was closed.

Michael and Christie: I have such fond memories of coming home from school and seeing your mom visiting with my mom, and you two were playing upstairs with Lynn, Susan and Nancy. Sandy was always joking, and making our mom laugh. She was the coolest, with great style that I noticed even as a child. I was very, very sad to learn of her passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your famlies.

Love, Janet

I send my heartfelt sympathy to Christine and Michael and their families as they mourn the death of their mother. I’m sure this feels as surreal to you as it does to the many friends who came forward during these very difficult months. To my dear friend, co-worker and neighbor Alex, I shall miss you terribly and will think of you often. Thank you for touching my life.
