What an amazing person Sandy was. She took what many would perceive as a terrible circumstance and used it to help those around her, to live her own life to the fullest, and was still able to see the many blessings from God. It takes a very special person to be able to stand so tall and beautiful in such a situation. She has been such an inspiration to me and many many others. I know she is at peace and she is truely a hero in my eyes. We will miss you Sandy.
Love, Kelly
