Sandy and I were cousins and best friends. We lived next door to each other. Our days were filled with laughter. We spent most days together. I love you Sandy. Thank you for great memories.
Love, Barb
Nana I miss you so much. You were the matriarch of this family and we will be lost without you.
Sorry to hear about your mom our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Mike and Doris Bernier
Sandy blessed my son Tim, a lifetime Celtics fan, with many Celtics memorabilia. So generous she was, so thoughtful.
Knew her 56 years after I married her brother Wayne.
Sandy and I talked often the last 7 years, laughed and shared the “joys” of aging 😂. How I miss those talks ❤. Loved her much !!
