I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Sandy for many years, from Elementary school, all the way through High School and Armstrong. She was always a special person and I have many fond memories of her. I last saw her at the Jenkins reunion at the Crab Shack on Tybee and we had a great visit then. She will certainly be missed by many.

Sandy and I worked together for the City of Savannah in the Human Resources Department for many years. Even after I retired, we shared a friendship that is close to my heart. We did travel, did line dancing, and joined the Bible class which she invited me to do so. She was an inspiration to me and many others. Will miss her!
