Jim Roberts and family: I have not seen Sandi for many years. She & I lived in the same neighborhood during elementary school. We walked to school together occasionally and were in classes together at Randolph School. She joined the Girl Scout Troop I belonged to that was lead by my mom. I seemed to have lost contact sometime after that for which I am deeply saddened. She was always so sweet with the friendliest smile, sparkling eyes and cutest freckles. You have my sincere thoughts and prayers for your loss. A beautiful soul gone too soon. ~ Margie McDonald Herman
