Sandra's personality was larger than life and she would do anything to make you laugh. Anyone who interacted with her walked away with a smile, and maybe a raised eyebrow. Strong-willed, feisty, gritty, quirky, funny, fun, animated, loving and sweet are just a few words that best describe her. She never met a stranger. Sandra deserves everyone's respect for the unmatched love given freely to her children and grandchildren.
Sandra fought her health battles tenaciously. We feel honored to have had her this long and are thankful for our time with her. With every breath left in her body until the end, she cared for those that needed her. That required a strength that few possess. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
