My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Sandy's family. My sister (Laura Kay Uselton) or as many of you may know her by Kay Anderson and I were best buddies with Sandy and we grew up together in Albuquerque. Our parents - Jess & Bee Uselton were also best friends with Charles & Frances. I loved Sandy very much and kept up with her life through my sister. I was shocked to hear of her passing. May each one of you know that when you look up towards Heaven and see a shining star, that will be Sandy looking down on all of us. All my love...Nan Warren

Sandy was always smiling and she would make you laugh. She loved her family and all the people she met became a friend. God needed another angel with a laugh. I was honored to call Sandy a friend. May God Bless JR, and the family. We that are left behind, let us cherish the memories of Sandy. Rest in Peace Sandy, and may we one day reunite in Gods kingdom. May the prayers comfort the Sanford Family.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered"come to me". With tearful eyes we watched you,and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly,we couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. God go with you in everything you do.

Anyone who knew Sandy felt very privileged to be called a friend by her. I worked with Sandy for a number of years and continued a friendship long after. She was always a very cheerful and loving person. Sandy...Though your time here was short you left your smile on a lot of hearts! I will forever cherish the memories of our time together and the laughter we had. Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to have been part of her life and take good care of her. To the family...my deepest sympathy and prayers to keep you strong through this difficult time.

Im so sad to learn of Sandy's premature passing. While we both worked at First National Bank in the 80's and 90's, we didn't work in the same department. However, Sandy always made a point to reach out to me and everyone else at FNB to become a genuine friend. That's just the way she was. Over the years, she always remembered me whenever we'd cross paths in town. I know many people will miss and remember her. My sincerest condolences to her family. Randy and Aida Mordhorst
