After only a few dates they knew they had found their soulmate.
Sandra worked for The Monitor as a Regional Marketing Strategist for the rest of her career. She was a genuine person and anyone who knew her could testify to her willingness to always being helpful and generous. She was a dedicated employee and rarely missed work but always found time for friends and family. She loved her job and her community in which she served the media world.
Sandra was a faithful friend and sister. She will mostly be missed for her beautiful smile and contagious laugh-she had the ability to light up any room. Sandra had a heart of gold and was always humble and kind. As a sister we remember her always being the peacemaker, no matter the situation.
