She always had a smile on her face and was always there for you if you needed to talk, shoulder to lean and cry on. She would give you a big hug and say “everything will be alright, don't give up, stay positive, and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.” 

Sandi turned one of her hobbies into a small selling and barter business that she called Sandi's Books Lil Bits, gems and jewelry.

She was blessed with 12 great-grandkids; ten boys and two girls, that she loved and adored with all her heart. Her face would light up with love, happiness, joy and great pride every time she would see them or talk about them with family and friends.
