Rick and kids, so sad to hear of the passing of Sandy.   We can’t imagine the loss and the void in your life.  We are thinking of you and sending hugs.  Much love!

Rick,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this tone of sorrow

My sincere condolences to Sandy's family and close friends. Sandy had a giggle like no one else I have known. When she was excited her voice had a signature squeak. I continue to hear her. Sandy has left a void at Tyler and is missed in many ways. Sandy and I shared a love of polka dots. I will always remember her as these little things mean alot. 

 Although I haven't known Sandy as long as most, I consider her a close friend.  We met during the acquisition of New World Systems.  At that time, I didn't know if I had much of a future nor a job.  My first impression of Sandy was how energetic and cheerful she was each and every day while in our Troy office for some very long days/weeks.  Once the transition was completed, she became my boss and mentor.  Our friendship developed from that point on.  We talked often mostly about work and family.  She was so very proud of her children.  She beamed with pride talking of the various accomplishments.  She loved that Ryan and Danielle were close and spent time with each other.  She cherished her trips to see Danielle at college especially her NYC trip. 
Several times I had the fortune to travel to Portland, Maine.  Sandy knew the best places for a variety of fresh seafood.  She took me under her wing and showed me the Portland that she knew and loved.  This included a kayak trip and walks along the Maine shoreline.  These memories and many others are forever in my heart and will continue to make me smile.  Thank you, my friend for being there during all of my health issues.  I am so very sorry I could not return the favor.  Rest in Peace watch over us and your dear family!  Love Jen


Rick, Ryan and Danielle - some things are
just impossible to comprehend.  You have been on my mind and in my heart constantly since I heard the devastating news. I’m sending you so much love. May your memories bring you much comfort during these extremely difficult times. Xoxo

I enjoyed having Sandy in several of my classes at Husson.  She always had a smile on her face with a little mischief mixed in.  She worked hard with rigorous goals, all of which she accomplished.   I had the pleasure of talking with her fairly recently when she got a promotion and she was very happy with both her family and professional lives.  A life cut much too short.  My prayers are with all of you.  (Front row left in the picture attached)

Ricky Ray - So very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts Brother.

Rick my condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 

Rick, Ryan, and Danielle ~
Our hearts are heavy with grief for your loss. No words can express how truly sorry we are . Sandy was such a bright light, spirited, generous, compassionate and she ALWAYS loved sharing updates on you two—Ryan and Danielle—her pride and joys... She will be so missed and we are sending our deepest condolences.

Heartfelt condolences to the Holt Family, Friends & Colleagues ~
I worked with Sandy since she was hired at Tyler in the Accounting department.  She had a sign in her office that said, ‘a cluttered desk is a sign of genius’.  There was order to her chaos.  Her attention to detail, and energetic approach to all tasks she took on was inspirational.  She went out of her way to ask staff how they were doing personally and complement them in some small way. We shared in her home renovations and the adventures and launch into adulthood of her children she was intensely proud of.   I will miss her random calls and texts when she was having a thought to share.  Her presence will be missed by all that were in her hemisphere.  

Some words of wisdom she had displayed in her office:


There are no words to express how sincerely sorry I am for your loss!   I was lucky enough to have worked with Sandy for the last 7 years.  I will miss her big heart and laughter!

Rick,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.  I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sandra and I (Roland) with our grandparents back in the day.  She sent this to me recently saying it was one of her favorites.

I worked with  Sandy at Tyler and she was full of energy/life.  The last few years we worked in the same building and I would run into her sometimes - she was always racing somewhere, but always had a smile on her face and made time to ask how I was.

I am so sorry for your loss and I will miss her.

Sandy and I have known each other since Cole-Haan days; I too, "came with the building". You would breeze in, full of energy, a quick conversation, usually about your wonderful family, positive, smiling. I look at Sandy as a role model, smart, decisive, focused, a leader who could have fun and work hard at whatever was required of her. She was one of the first people I encountered as we have returned to work,  making things seem a little more normal, smiling through her mask! Sandy, may God bless your family and keep them in your love as you watch over and guide them in the time to come. We mourn the loss of a great woman, mother, spouse, coworker and so much more; you touched the lives of so many of us in ways you probably never knew. 

Mr. and Mrs. Jutras,

My heart is broken for you after hearing the news. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Roger, Anita and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. I am so very sorry for your loss.



Words alone could never capture the depth of losing someone as special as Sandy.  She was a friend, a confidante, and my fellow Sister.  Simply put-a beautiful person that we were so very fortunate to have entered our lives.   Rick, Ryan, and Danielle – Her love for each of you was boundless.  You were her entire world.  We always likened Sandy to a mother lioness and her cubs-fiercely protecting her family and filled with endless pride.  Our hearts ache and are heavy with sorrow to not hear the sound of your Mother’s sweet voice, to see her smile, to hear her words of kindness and wisdom but the memories we carry within our hearts can never be erased. The journey ahead will be arduous but know that you are surrounded by loved ones.  We will always be here for each of you.  As we look to the night’s sky, we know that Sandy’s star will always shine the brightest

We are so heartbroken at the loss of someone so dear.  They say that our legacy lives on through our families, and there couldn't be a more loving and caring one than Rick, Ryan and Danielle. Sandi will always be in our hearts and minds.  We love you all and are always here for you.

Rick, 
I know all too well that there are no words which can offer enough comfort in this time of loss.  Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Sandy I know through you that she's a wonderful wife, mother and friend with a beautiful soul who will be missed greatly in every way, every day.  I’ve always enjoyed the way you beam with love and pride anytime you have an opportunity to talk about your family.  My heart is with you, Danielle and Ryan as you face the journey ahead. I pray that all of Sandy’s loved ones are surrounded with love and light and that you are able to find some peace in this unspeakable voyage through heartache.  God Bless you and your family and may Sandy’s spirit live on through you and your children.  Much, much love from my heart to yours.

Rick & kids
I am shattered to hear the news today...my heart grieves with you. We have lost a good friend and loyal customer.   I loved waiting on Sandy and chatting with her about anything, she was always a joy to have at the store and such a comfort when we shared stories about our kids away at school.  May God bless you all as you deal with this sudden tragedy.
Mark

Dear Roger, Anita and family:

    I was so sadden when I read the obituary in our paper this morning.  I recognized Sandy's face immediately as she always had that smile and also a giggle to go with it.  I'm sure you know that she was a lovely girl who was friendly to everyone and respected me as her coach.  I still remember the cute picture we had of the cheerleaders sitting on the ledge.  Please convey my condolences to your whole family and friends.

Rick, Ryan and Danielle ~
I was lucky enough to work for and with Sandy for many years. She was a great boss and friend. Her laugh and smile brought such light to a room. I’m so sorry for your loss.  She will be missed by so many. 
Thinking of you,
Anne

To the Holt Family – Going through the loss of a beloved one is never easy, and no one can ever prepare themselves for a loss. Knowing Sandy through Tyler has been a true honor for me. She was a very kind person! How did I know when Sandy was in the Plano office? I would hear her voice first, unique and warming. During my only trip to Maine, I remember how much she spoke of her family and we shared talks of our dogs.  May you all find peace in knowing how special Sandy was to us all! 

Rick, I was so saddened to see this news.  It's been a long time since the little league days when we met you and Sandy, but every time I saw her she greeted me with a big smile and kind words.  I'll miss those meetings, mostly at food stop, but I know that her smile and kindness lives on through you and your kids.  Peace to you all.  Bill and the Dehais family...

Rick, Ryan and Danielle,

I was lucky to have Sandy as my co-worker for 4 years . You all were a constant source of pride for her.  She would always share stories.  I wanted to send my condolences to your Family after this unspeakable tragedy. 

Honey, when I learned that we couldn’t win this one, I broke down in tears. Never could I have imagined such heartbreak, such an overwhelming feeling of grief. Though our time together was cut tragically short, we lived a lifetime in the years we’ve had together after first meeting in college, living away for a decade, and then returning home to raise a family amongst our families. As you are and will always be, I’m so proud of Ryan and Danielle. I know by the way your eyes lit up, that in those final days and hours you could hear and feel them by your side. Honey they were so strong and beautiful and wonderful with you as we sat by your side. I was so proud and know where it is that their strength comes from. Know always that we love you and will forever carry your strength with us. 

My deepest condolences to Sandy’s family – you were everything to her and she will always be with you in the wonderful memories you have.  May you find comfort in knowing her huge smile, amazing energy and love of life impacted everyone she touched.  I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to not just have her as a mentor and coworker but to have her as a dear friend!  She was an absolute joy I will miss every day.

Rick and Family,

My heart goes out to you.  Wishing you peace and comfort during these times and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.   

Thoughts and prayers are with you. 
Dianne Vermette

Rick, Ryan and Danielle ~

Joan Glass

I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to the Holt family.  I have worked with Sandy for many years.  She was one of my bosses and my friend.  I will miss her laugh and the calls where we talked about work and family often.  I want you to know she made an impact on many people with her willingness to not ask anyone to do something she would not jump in and do herself.  She will be missed every day!

Dear Ryan and Danielle,
Doug and I are so deeply saddened to read of your mom's dying.
She was a breath of fresh air every time we saw her.  Her love of life, her pride in you two, her delight in Josie [whom we met at doggy day care],  her enthusiasm and joy in everything and everyone she met made us happy.   Thank God love never dies.  May you hold her belief in you and her unconditional love for you in your hearts all your lives long.  You have the greatest cheerleader and guardian angel watching over you forever!  
With love and deep sympathy,  Becky and Doug

Dear Ryan and Family,


Our deepest condolences to you at this difficult time. May she Rest In Peace.

To Rick, Ryan & Danielle,

Sandy was an amazing person, she loved with no boundaries.  She will be truly missed.  Her friendship over the last 17 years has meant more to me than she will every know.   You all were part of many wonderful conversations.  I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayer are with you.

Christine

I miss you.  You were the truest of friends to me.  Your energy no matter what you were talking about good or bad was always enthusiastic.  Your friendship over the last 17 years has meant a great deal to me.   Whether it was just chatting at work or going out to dinner after work.   The many phone calls to talk about things.  We talk about everything and anything that was going on in our lives.   My family, your family, and work; sharing thoughts and advise.   Laughing and crying together.  Your capacity to love and make someone feel cared about was so immense.  You have supported me and been there for me in any capacity that I have needed over the years.  You have made a profound impact on my life.   There are no amount of words that can convey the loss I am feeling.    Love you my friend,  rest peacefully Christine

To the Holt Family,

The Kennedy family (Chris, Becky, Ben, & Matt) extends our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers in this most difficult time. 

As you grieve your loss and celebrate Sandra's life, we'd like to share our fondest and simple memory.  

Every time our paths crossed whether it was out for a stroll in the neighborhood, at a Greely Girls Hockey game, at other school events, or in the center area of our small town, Sandra always had a mile-wide beaming smile and happy glow about her.  Her love for her family as the epicenter of her life was constantly evident and around which all else revolved.

We will forever remember Sandra with a warm, affectionate, and infectious smile, and look forward to crossing paths with the Holt family.

Respectfully,

Chris, Becky, Ben, & Matt Kennedy

Sending my deepest condolences! Sandy was a coworker at Tyler and though I haven’t seen her in person in several years, I will never forget her laugh and her infectious personality. Rest easy Sandy! 

Rick, Ryan and Danielle. 
Words cannot convey how truly sorry I am for your loss.  Sandy was one of a kind and I am a grateful for the friendship I have had with her over the last 20 years.  You guys are in my thoughts and prayers
