    I am so honored and proud to have known Sandie; the fighter, who never gave up, and live her life the way that she wanted. Loving her family like no other. Rest peaceful now Sandie, you are in God’s hand. No more pain. I remember seeing you Sandie just a few weeks ago at St. Peter’s Hospitol: as we hugged each other, I saw that smile on your face and just about broke down. I will miss you
