I enjoyed working with Sandy at Reuther. As we all know, Sandy loved to talk and I always enjoyed listening to her unique voice. I know the students she worked with appreciated her "motherly advice", which she gave wisely and lovingly. I will miss knowing that Sandy is around telling her stories.

OK, this is my third try.Although we didn. 't always see eye to eye there was always love in my heart. I regret we didn't speak more the last few years. I want to tell you that you raised 2 fine young men who love you immensely. I know their heart is breaking. You also have 3 beautiful granddaughters who will be missing you always. You are loved dearly and are gone but not forgotten.One day we will meet again, until then Rest In Peace my dear sister.
