Ed Lipskey Ed - So sorry to hear the news of Sandy's passing, but so glad you could all be together to say goodbye. In our days at McEachren, I remember how fondly you'd talk about Sandy and how even in the most challenging of times, you'd have a twinkle in your eye and such a sincere kindness about you. How lucky you were to have each other, and to have built such a great family and life together, with so many happy memories. Sandy couldn't have asked for more in a life partner. Thinking of you and sending hugs and sympathies.

Dear Ed, when you and Sandy last visited us in the summer of 2019 Sandy could still get about but wasn't aware of many things. One of our daughters came by with her six month old baby girl and Sandy's eyes brightened and she said 'baby.' We have never forgotten that and we know that you and your family will always remember certain words, certain looks and certain smiles. They will be with you forever. She was a special person. God bless you..
We are so sorry for your loss. Cindy, Stuart and Samantha
