You have truly gone above and beyond over the years and we are eternally grateful. We cannot even begin to summarize the incredible person Sandi was. With a smile that could light up a room, kindness that made you feel welcome, and warmth that made you feel loved, Sandi left everywhere she went better than she found it.
She didn’t want to leave her family and friends, but our loss is surely heaven’s gain with the addition of their brightest new angel. Until we meet again, sweet Sandi.
