Kaskey's, In these times of grief, know that Sandy's soul is moving on to an amazing place. I have great memories of mixing it up with her at the Fairview house in Darien. She was tough, fiesty and always spoke her truth from the heart. I love these attributes in my incredible friends Bruce and Steve and know where they got them. Her generosity and life-loving spirit were always evident. I am honored to know and love Sandy and the whole Kaskey family. Tom Kelley Often yelled KELLEY in an Idaho accent

I was saddened to read of Mrs. Kaskey's passing. She always had such a great smile and pleasant personality. It was a pleasure to serve her every time she joined us at Driftaway Cafe. I don't think that I will ever serve a duck dish without thinking about her warming smile! My prayers are with Mr. Kaskey and their family.

Sandy 'Mrs. Kaskey' to us will live on in my memory forever. She played a huge part in my life and the lives of my other buddies who grew up in Darien. We had a fantasy childhood in that town and a main reason was the love and care and also discipline provided by Moms like Sandy and Dads like Vern. Myself and my family are praying for Sandy and also, Vern, Bruce, Steve, Julie and their children now. Sandy, you're an inspiration to all of us who are now parents.
