What a lovely lady. I was not that close to her in school, but she was part of our class of '60'

SAndy was one of those quiet souls who dared to make a difference in everyone's life. She was a very good friend who I have know for at least 62 years maybe longer! At any rate I shall miss her little notes.

Eric,
Barb and I will always remember the wonderful times spent in your living room and backyard with you and Sandy. So many good times. Her life was a blessing to all who knew her; her courage an inspiration and her laughter and smile a joy to behold.

Love,
Frank and Barbara Brady
