    Sandy was a vibrant, beautiful lady who never spoke negatively of anyone. She loved Jesus and lived life with dignity and zeal. It was an honor to know her and to call her family. Now she has it made.

    Sandy and I were high school together. I ironed her hair every night before she sang. Ann Murray, and several singers she was the warm up singer.I lost contact with her in 1984. If only a year a part.
