I was so sad to learn of Sandy’s death. She and I worked together at VNA in the 1990’s. I always felt comfortable knowing that my patients were in good hands when Sandy provided care for them (hospice). She certainly was a caring individual and I can still hear her call folks “honey”. The world is a better place because she passed through it. My sincere condolences to her family.
