Dear Mike and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. A beautiful Light in our world has dimmed with Sandy’s departure and return to God. Heaven; however, has acquired a new glow upon her arrival as the newest member of the Communion of Saints. With Sincere Sympathy

In my 14 years as Director of Worship, Sandy always greeted me with, “hi, sweetie, how are you?” She was one of my biggest supporters! I am so happy to play her Funeral Mass! Rest In Peace, Sweetie.

Mike, Monica, Lauren, Erin and Andrew,
We are sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I will look back on many times of laughter and memorable moments that only Sandy could have provided. The house in Rye, working on the pool, the after graduation party at your house. There will never be another Sandy, she was funny, direct and definitely her own person, but most importantly she was a good person and will be missed. I’m happy to have the memories and to have known her.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sandy was one of the kindest people I have met. We recently reconnected at Village Consignment and laughed over our great adventures in high school. I will always remember her contagious smile. She will be missed.
