My prayers and sympathy are with you and the kids. Sandi was always the life of the party with her "partner in crime" Moe. She will be truly missed. I cannot be with you in person due to family commitments but know I am with you in spirit.

Dearest Cousin Moe and Family,
My heart ached when I heard the sad news for I know the pain from loosing a spouse.
You were always the "couple" that made everyone happy when we were together.
I will miss her smile, her good
nature and just being together at
family gatherings.
May you all know how much we love you and that you are in our
prayers.
Lots of LOVE and HUGS. . .Judy

One of the sweetest and funniest ladies I've ever known. She was the perfect example of what a grandmother should be; not only to her own grandchildren but to others as well. She gave out some of the best hugs around and will be missed by so many. Heaven just got a little more sparkly with Sandy up there! Lots of Love
