Sandi was such a caring and lovely person. It breaks my heart to hear this news. She will leave a huge hole to fill at Baxter School. Sandi was a friend and my kids teacher. She was there for my daughter when she was going through some tough times always ready to lend an ear or a reassuring look. She will be missed by many. Sandi's family are in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.

She was part of the Baxter Class of 1978,she moved away and we kinda lost track of her till I moved back to Baxter in 2010 and went to work at the school and low and behold there she was. It was nice to get reunited with her. She will be missed. R.I.P. my friend.

Ms. Larson was my English teacher both 7th and 8th grade and it is unbelievable that the year before she seemed extremely healthy and had a welcoming smile and a great care for all of her students. She had believed in everyone and saw good futures in them that noone else did. She was as well my favorite teacher in middle school and we are all crushed about her death. I bet she is teaching another class in heaven. May her soul rest in peace. :'(
