I worked with Sandy for many years in the Dapsco days, she was a wonderful lady and a great friend. I’m sorry for your loss as I know how much she loved her family and her grand kids. God Bless and Prayers to the family.
ps One time Sandy and I went to my 8 year olds concert and the music was horrible – we both were laughing so hard and almost got kicked out, one would stop and the other would start laughing, will never forget that night. Love her…
Mark and Greg…we wish you are deepest condolescenes.
I am so sorry to hear of Sandra’s passing. My deepest sympathy to Mark, Gregory and the rest of the family. Words are inadequate at a time like this. Fond memories of our times together will remain in my heart always.
