Dear Tim, Samantha and Allison,
Sandy really liked to have fun. My earliest memories with her growing up was she liked to get out and do things like bowling, camping, going to concerts at Blossom Music Center, shopping nonstop and especially enjoying good food.  Yes coffee with cream and sugar while eating breakfast anytime of the day even at 2 am. She was always into something new. The second she found something boring it was time to try something else. We shared many exciting adventures growing up. It was never boring with her. 

Sandy had a very good sense of humor and even a better laugh. I remember sometimes we would get out of control and laugh  so very hard until our eyes watered. That was just the best! We would laugh at silly stuff. She loved her family and her pets. 

When I turned 14 she let me borrow her moped and I rode that thing around the neighborhood a hundred times a week. She was a giving and generous person. She would share whatever she had.

When I was trying to save money for my tuition for college she helped me win some money  at the bingo hall that she liked to play at. Scratch off tickets helped me stay in school one semester! Thank you Sandy!

Sandy was a great sister to me.  I remember the first twenty five years with her very well. Unfortunately when my wife Jolie and I moved to Florida we stayed busy the last 20 years raising our three children and that time has passed very fast.  I am sorry we didn’t stay close with Sandy.  I know she spent time with her friends and family enjoying every moment. I know she will be missed greatly. 

I will always remember our good times and that I had a big sister who was there for me especially when I was younger. I hope you remember when she found something funny and would laugh out loud.  She was a thoughtful person and at times you could get on her nerves but that was usually for a short period.  I  am truly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Kelly Moore

Samatha & Allison. 

I was so very sorry to hear your Mom had passed away.  Thank you for letting me know. Your mom and I had so many memorials together. I am so sorry that I did not try harder to keep in touch after your Grandfather passed. 
Your Mom was always a free spirit and lived her life her way.  She loved her Children and Grandchildren that I have no doubt about 
Her and I laughed together cried together celebrated her achievements together. Your Grandfather Don and I were I at the Birth of Sam and Al as your grandfather nicknamed you both  Don would be so proud of the women you grew up to be.   As I am sure your Mom was also. 
My Sincere Condolences to the Whole  Family.  Grandma Peggy

Rest Sandy. You were so very sweet to me in my 20s and I will remember your smile, warmth, and the fun that you brought to the campground.
