John was a friend of mine going back before our high school days in Randolph. Its always sad and difficult to loose a family member and loved one so early. The world was certainly a better place with the presence of Sandy in it. I know John, his children, and the rest of the family will have many many wonderful memories to carry them forward. I am sorry I cannot be there to give my condolences in person. Give your children big hugs and stay positive as you move forward. My Best Regards, Jim Spellman
Such a sweet and gentile person who is suffering no longer. May God hold her in his hands. Our hearts go out to John, Matt, Donna, and Jennifer and their families. May their sorrow be replaced by her loving memories of better times. We are richer for having known her. Know that time will heal the hurt.
We are happy to have known such a lovely lady. We always enjoyed her company. We have been keeping her in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult year. We hope for Mr. Tolson, her children, and their families that the pain will soon fade, and that they will enjoy the happy memories she gave them.
It has been many years since Sandy and I graduated from high school, but she was friend to many and will be missed. The class of "67" has lost another to a better world without pain. To her family, my condolences.
Dear John,
So sorry about the death of Sandy. My condolences to you and your family. I remember the good times we had years ago. You are in m prayers as is Sandy and your entire family.
