John and Chris. Our entire family is so sorry for your loss. For over 30 years Sandy was next door. She was funny and a great neighbor. I admired her always going back to school. She was wonderful!

Dear Laverne & Mike,
I’m so sorry to hear of Sandy’s passing. While we weren’t close cousins as adults, I remember spending a lot of time together at young girls. I loved the summer she came and stayed with me for a couple weeks. With deepest sympathy, Susie (Day) & Jerry Harper
Rick & Judy Walker says
Judy and I went to high school with Sandy. We are very saddened to hear of her passing. Sandy was an intelligent, pretty, kind and unassuming person. She always conducted herself with grace and class. All of our NPHS classmates mourn her passing. I sure she will be missed by all that came to know to her.
