My deepest sympathies to all of the family and to my dear friend, I will miss you. You were such an honor and blessing to know and work with...I learned so much from you. Our time in the deli is some of my most cherished memories at City Market. We were the "older ones" in the deli and could stick together. Rest in peace, dear friend. God bless all the family.

Sandie was a bright spot in a bleak world. Always friendly and smiling. At City Market she greeted you and ask about your life. Lovely person for sure.

My dear, dear, friend. I am glad your suffering is over but selfishly wish you were still with us. Your strength and remarkable poise these past months were awe inspiring. Not sure too many people would be able to exhibit the dignity you did. You will be missed dear friend.
