Marie, I remember the first time I met Sandra at your home in Tucson! She and you were so welcoming and hospitable and together your home was such a delight to visit. What a gift she was to all who knew her!!

Prayers and love to Marie and all of the family.

Although we were not close at Mt. Holyoke, I do remember her presence. Love, prayers, and blessings to Marie, others in her family, and all who were touched by this lovely lady.

Sandy was one of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever met. It was a pleasure to be part of Sandy's life and watch her find Marie- her joy. Sandy was always true to her passions and her beliefs. I am saddened that my daughter (Sandy's niece- Elise) will no longer have this strong, educated, independent, and creative woman to lead her into her own womanhood. Sandy, you have left us but we WILL keep your presence alive by reminding Elise of your strength and love.

Marie, I continue to lift you up in prayer. I am praying for you and for all of Sandy's family and friends. With love, Kerri Bianchi

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

My heart is broken for you and your family, Pat and Sterlin. Know that you are with me in my thoughts and in my heart and I send much love to you all. Elna

My thoughts and prayers are with Marie and Sandy's family (including the kitty cats) at this time. May your happy memories lift your spirits and help you carry on her light.

My heart aches thinking that you have already left us, Sandy, but you did so in style. You lived a full, complete, and happy life during the time that you had here on earth even while battling your cancer. You always had a smile, and a warm, friendly personality for which I am grateful for! I hope this next chapter in your journey is fulfilling whether it is walking on streets of gold or just a deep sleep as many believe, I hope it is comforting, fulfilling, and happy. Marie my heart is with you as you struggle with your sorrow and balancing the celebration of Sandy's life with the sorrow and hurt of the loss. Please know I am here if you need a hug, or someone to listen, a coffee date or whatever!

Marie- Words can not express the sadness I felt when I learned of Sandy's passing. Keeping you, Sandy's family and friends in my thoughts and prayers. Since I am challenged with my own words-- I offer these beautiful words. God Bless. In the rising of the sun and its going down, we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, For now they are a part of us as we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them. In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them. In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them. From the Rabbi’s Manual, copyright 1988, pp.130-131

Marie, Mr. and Mrs. Clockedile, Robert, Jennifer and Elise, Words are inadequate to express the sympathy we feel for you. Please know you are in our prayers and will continue to be so.

Dear Marie, David and I send our love to you at this time of loss. You and Sandy were wonderful friends and we remember all we experienced together. We love you! Jean-Marie and David

I am stunned and sad to read that Sandy died. She was my neighbor in Bethel CT. We exchanged cat care; she taught me how to care for tanks of fish; we went shopping for gardening supplies; she helped me after I'd had major surgery. As I get ready to move yet again and was packing books to donate I laughed remembering when she looked at all my books and said with a smile "You know there's a place you can go to read or check out books so you don't need to carry all these around.....it's called a library!" She was a gentle soul but strong woman! I'm so sorry she left so soon and for your loss.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
