With great sadness, I write to express my condolences. Sandy was a member of Albert Sidney Johnston Chapter 2060, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and was Chapter President, 1996-1998. I am proud to say that I followed her as President, 1998-2000. Although we had not visited personally in some years, we communicated via Email, and had a great time doing that. I will miss her as an email correspondent and as a friend. My deepest condolences to her family members and other friends.
