Sandy you always had that smile on your face when I knocked on your window at work. You were always able to laugh and share stories of your beloved daughter. You have such a caring nature to you and it showed on how you treated and cared for those around you. Thank you my friend for the memories you gave to all of us.
I worked with Sandy for many years at the VA and we always talked about her travels. I am so sorry to hear about her passing. May the Lord hold all of you through this very tough time.

Sandy you will be deeply missed, you had such a great and funny personality. You always made my days brighter when you would waste time around the VA store. Thoughts & prayers are with your family at this hard time. May you Rest In Peace Sandy<3
Sandy you were always one to make everyone’s day, you had that big bright smile on your face everytime I seen you, you will be truly missed by me and others. Her stories of her family and how much fun things you have had with them. I loved looking at the different designs she had on her nails. I loved seeing you everyday at the canteen store. I enjoyed your company. May you rest peacefully now. I bet your so pretty with those glowing angel wings. Party like a rock star. See you in heaven when that time comes. Miss your pretty smile and jokes.
Sandy I will miss your smiling face. Rest in peace. May God be with your family and comfort them in this time of loss.
It was a tremendous pleasure getting to know you over the last several years. You had a truly big heart and always made me laugh back in the operators booth. I can’t tell you how deeply shocked and saddened I was to hear of your passing. Sandy was a deeply caring person and will be truly missed by all who knew her. I am thankful to have had you as a friend.
Sandy was such a beautiful woman who had a smile that would brighten your day. Although I didn’t worked with her directly, she was a great friend here at the VA. She will be greatly missed! May the Lord comfort you. Deepest sympathy.
So sorry for your loss Mike and Sam. Prays are with you and the family.
Sandy’s love and compassion for all of God’s creatures was palpable and one can only imagine the welcome she must have received at the Rainbow Bridge on her passage to Heaven from those gone before patiently awaiting her arrival. Godspeed Sandy.
