Sandi & I were good friends, we attended attended Branham high school together and lived on the same street. I have many great memories. We went skiing with her family several times (her parents were always fun to hang out with), we memorized all of the words to our favorite Elton John songs, we raced our brothers dirt bikes (she always won), she could throw a football further than anyone else, and was great at everything she tried. When my brother, Bob had a motor cycle accident in High School, Sandi (always thoughtful) organized the neighborhood to make a giant get will board with her picture in the center, it was placed in his hospital room.
I was sad when the family moved to Ben Lomond, but brother Bob and I did go to see their beautiful new home with pool and tennis court. We lost touch after that, and then a few years back we saw each other while at a book signing for Dr. Lara (we were both fans). In the last year, our mutual High School friend & neighbor, Judy Young, asked me to contact Sandi when she was in hospice (and I did) as she had some great memories of the two of us.
When we were younger, we thought we had all the time in the world. When we are older, we realized that every moment and every memory is precious. Sandi made me a better person and added a lot of happiness to my life. She was the most amazing, beautiful, talented & caring person I have ever known. I am sure that she is in a good place, making it an even better place. I hope that I will see her again one day.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family & friends at this difficult time.
