To Sandra’s children: my deepest condolences for your loss. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sandy was a great person, and mother-in-law. She was always lots of fun. Things that I remember the most were our private talks and her big beautiful smile. One of our favorite things that her and I used to do were late breakfasts or maybe early morning. She had no problem working 2nd shift and racing home to pick me up and off to Howard Johnsons we would go. She will be missed and thought of forever . RIP-Sandy
