I worked with Sandy at The Principal; such a nice person; always hard-working and ready to do whatever was needed to get the job done. I enjoyed working with Sandy. My prayer is for God to comfort Sandy's family in the days ahead; lean on Him. Hold tight to all of your memories. .

I just cant tell you how sorry I am! Sandy was a wonderful lady. I was proud to call her my friend. I met her a few years ago when I was invited to join the Card Club. I knew right away she was going to be a friend. She will be missed by many!
