Sorrow in my heart

I too am one of the relatively new ladies who will always remember Sandy's smile in her pink sweater. She always took the time to answer a post and was always positive and supportive in her response. She will remain with me as a shining example of what is possible even when facing the last unknown.
I know she did not want flowers, but I wish there was some way we could say a huge "Goodbye" to show how much we treasured her here? Any ideas?
Peace be with you Sandy, and your loving family.

thought about sandy all weekend and was afraid to check the site. I'm just sick to my stomach with intense sadness. What a beautiful woman.

My intial thought is to say what a loss, but actually what a gift she was to all of us. I'm so sad for her family, and our family too.
