Sandy's bright smile and wise words, and kind ones remain with me. I feel fortunate she touched me so deeply.  Al Diamond

Today marks four years since I lost my beloved Sandy Chernick. Sandy was my therapist of seven years, but she became so much more. She was a woman of extraordinary grace and dignity who helped me navigate the darkest chapters of my life. When I couldn't afford therapy, she still welcomed me. When I was struggling, she called daily just to check on me. During my battle with mental health after an emotionally abusive relationship, she remained steadfast by my side. When fair-weather friends disappeared, Sandy's unwavering support and guidance became my lifeline.

Through her kindness, Sandy restored my faith in humanity and showed me that genuine goodness exists beyond my family. She taught me what true compassion looks like and helped me understand healthy relationships in a way I never had before. Sandy, you were the light that illuminated my darkest days, and your impact continues to shape my life. Today, I stand strong as a sober woman, maintaining my mental health, surrounded by authentic friendships, and blessed with a loving relationship. Every bit of this growth traces back to the seeds of self-worth and wisdom you planted. Your compassion lives on in how I navigate the world today.

Cancer may have taken you far too soon, but it could never erase the profound mark you left on my life. Learning of your passing shattered my world in ways I'd never experienced before - the grief was overwhelming and still touches me deeply. I wish you could see how far I've come, meet my family and partner, and be there for my future wedding as you promised. But I know you're watching over me, celebrating each milestone. Your spirit guides me through every step, and your lessons about love and authenticity continue to light my path. Fly high, sweet angel. I love you and miss you more than words can express. 😘

This just popped up on my email and it just made me have a gentle smile…….i think of you soooo often and just know you are around. There is a woman that I pass a few times a week that is waiting for a bus. First time I saw her from a distance I was shocked…it was YOU. The next few times I just would say good morning. She smiles and just nods. It always makes my day to see her …and remember you❤️. Rest in peace my lovely friend.

We miss you every second of every day 
Thank you mamasita for all you did for us and all you taught us. We were the luckiest kids in the world.

I think about Sandy so often. I miss her and her warmth and advice. She helped me through a very difficult time and I will be forever grateful and will never forget her. 
Sincerely, 
Karen Lippin

It took me so long to write this. I’m still in shock that Sandy is not with us anymore. There is not a single day that goes by that I don’t think about her. I’m always thinking of her. 

From the day that we met to the last time that we spoke each of our encounters has been engrained deep inside my mind and heart. She was there for me in my darkest days and gave me the hope and confidence I needed to get through my toughest years.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I realize now more than ever how her wisdom has taught me so many lessons. Without her I wouldn’t have been the woman I am today, had a family bond nor would I be alive. I owe my life to her. 

I can never thank her enough for the love, wisdom, growth,and confidence she’s given me.  I wouldn’t have been the woman I am today without her in  my life. I will always be well right along side her wisdom , thank you with all my heart.  You will be with me in my heart and my soul forever. I love you more than anyone in the entire world. I’m indebted to her for life.

I miss her every day. ..I’m can cry in an instant when I want to tell her something and remember she is no longer walking in the same world that I am. 
She was an exceptional person who made the world feel safer, more interesting and more fun.
 I love you, , Sandy.

Thinking of Sandy today , actually a lot lately. Miss her so very much. I have so much I’d like to talk with her about……As I read my prayer book today, her business card fell out. Now, I know why. She is still a force❤️❤️❤️  Love to all who are remembering her today. 

Friend forever,
Karen Lippin

I just now learned about Sandy's death and I am deeply upset to learn about the passing of my beloved neighbor and  best childhood friend and someone with whom I again made contact a few years ago.  It is with great sadness that I send belated condolences to Noel and Allison, her beautiful and much loved children and to Alan.  I also want to send condolences to her brother Howard.

My most heartfelt condolences on the passing of dear Sandy. I was a patient of Sandy. I referred to her as “ light in the storm”. She completely moved me from total hopelessness to life again. She helped me remember who I was. I will never,  ever forget her warmth and compassion. As tears roll from my face, I remember her pride when she spoke of her daughter Allison and her son Noel. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet, nutty , character of a mother. The heavens gained a very special angel. ❤️

I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Sandy.  I was one of her clients for many years.  She helped me through the most difficult times in my life.  She guided me in all the right directions and assured me that with my strength and courage that I would be ok with my difficult divorce.  I can honestly say that she is the one to give me the strength to move on.  She was a true gem.  May she RIP.   

I was one of Sandy's clients. She helped me through a very difficult time in my life with warmth, understanding, and wit, and I'll never forget her. The world was a better place with her in it, and I'm deeply sorry to know that she's gone. 

Please accept my condolences at this time. 

I just learned of Sandy's passing.  So sorry to hear.  I have fond memories of our time living next door to each other.



My most ever-present memory of Sandy is of her love of her family.
The relationship that I observed between Sandy and Alison was one of the most loving and remarkable connections between a parent and a child that I've ever seen.
Of course, I also admired the concern and love between Sandy and her son and her grandsons.
I can only imagine how difficult this must be for Sandy's husband and children.
Please accept my condolences.

On behalf of the Heller family, we were so sorry to hear about Sandy's passing. She was always a welcomed guest at our Thanksgiving gatherings, as she brought frivolity, good cheer, and warmth to all. Even our dad, Ben, who was never big on these events, looked forward to Sandy's arrival. And, of course, Mom, who saw Sandy weekly, is feeling the loss of her dear friend. Please accept our sincerest condolences and best wishes during these trying times. 
THE HELLER FAMILY  

To Alan, Alison and Nowell,

I felt deeply saddened by the loss of Sandy, my cousin. I remember visiting the Leons and the Chernicks during my childhood and adult years and  have only good memories of the times that we've shared together.
