In lieu of flowers, memorials in Sandie's name are being accepted by her family for a charity to be determined later. Sandie will be sadly missed. For those that knew her, she battled cancer for more than 21 years. You might even say she was a miracle woman. The cancer never won, it never beat her.

She takes me out to eat and gives me lots of candy. I'd hate to see her go. She always had a smile, she'd never make me frown. I always knew this day would come but I never thought it would be this soon.- Dehlia Kilty
