I just saw the message at the end of a Judge Judy show, and am shocked and heartbroken. Sandi was a lovely, fun, kind, generous lady, and always willing to help out when needed. I'm so sad to hear that she succumbed to her illness; one that the last time we spoke, she thought she had beat. I'm so sorry we'd lost touch over the last few years, and I send my sincerest condolences to her entire family, and particulary to Scott and Brooke.
