    Our heartfelt condolences to Tom and all of Sandy’s family, and friends. We know how Sandy loved and cherished her family. Although I attended Brandywine with Sandy, I really never met her until much later at our Brandywine reunions and casual get togethers. Carol and I immediately bonded with Sandy and Tom. Her smile stood out from across the room. After talking with Sandy and Tom, we realized we had a lot of similar interests. I can truly say it was friends at first sight. Sandy and Tom visited us at our home in Wildwood Crest, and we had so much fun showing them around our town and Cape May. Memories that will stay with us forever. Until we meet again, Rest In Peace Sandy, we love you. Bill and Carol❤️

    Sandy and I went back a long way, to University of Delaware and Kent dormitory, where she lived across the hall from me in 1969-70. We laughed, cried and traveled together; her parents, Leo and Helen, even drove us to Florida for spring break! We didn’t see each other for a few years after graduation, but then reconnected when, coincidentally, we wound up being in training together as counselors for Nursing Mothers, Inc. We played together once again, this time with our children! When I moved south to North Carolina, we kept in touch via Christmas cards and telephone calls. Then, thank goodness for Facebook! Sandy wanted to come to NC when Delaware and UNC played each other in football a few years ago, but wasn’t feeling up to it when the time arrived. Over the past several months, we chuckled, because for some reason, Sandy would accidentally call my phone all the time. We couldn’t figure out why. In fact, I received such a call on Sunday, the day she passed. Rest in Peace, Sandy. I’ll truly miss you, my friend.

    Dear Tom, Alexandra and Tom, I’m so sorry hearing about Sandy, my other sister. I didn’t know that she was in hospice care or I would had made arrangements to get to her. I found out about her going to Heaven months after she passed. I have tried to reach out to you Tom and Alexandra but neither acknowledged my text. Sandy did put up a good fight, but unfortunately lost that battle. My condolences to all of you. Sandy is another Angel in Heaven looking down on her husband, all of her children and grandchildren. Celebrate the birth of Jesus Sandy with your Dad and Mom and all of your Aunts and Uncles. I can still hear Sandy’s voice along with her Mom and Dad’s voices. Rest in the glorious clouds of Heaven, Sandy. Love you and always will. 🌹❤️ Love, Eileen
