Welcome From Sandy
Families are complicated, wonderful, loud, quiet, scattered, and somehow always connected. I’m Sandy, and this little corner of the internet is my way of gathering “my people” in one place – sons, grandkids, chosen family, and anyone else who has somehow ended up woven into our story.
These pages aren’t here to be perfect. They’re here to remember the good stuff: the holidays that went right (and the ones that didn’t), the beach trips, the pets we adored, the people we miss, and the ones we’re still lucky enough to hug.
As you click around, you’ll find tributes, photos, stories, and probably a few things that make you say, “Oh, I remember that!” My hope is that this site feels like sitting at the kitchen table together – just without the pile of dishes.
Thanks for being part of my family’s story. I’m glad you’re here.
Tributes
Some people and moments deserve a little extra spotlight. These pages are for them. Look for more “tributes” to come!
