They have three grandchildren, Ari Katz, Eliora Katz and Rina Sobel. Sandy studied at Boston University and received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Lawrence University.

Sandy will always have a special place in my heart. She always made Eddie smile. They could talk for hours. I know they are both smiling down on us from heaven. Gerry I hope you are doing well.

On the set of Heaven Can Wait (while we were always waiting), Sandy would start with her stories and experiences and have all of us around her laughing and in tears. I don't suppose it is any different now that she has a larger than life audience. Always remembered for the love and laughter she generously shared. Thank you Gerry for continuing to be present with us and sharing that same spirit.

Dear Gerry,
I just this minute found out about Sandy´s death by reading the Dor Tikvah weekly publication, which mentioned that you were sponsoring the Kiddush Luncheon tomorrow. My heart goes out to you Gerry. I am so sorry I knew nothing until now. Sandy was special, and she had wonderful stories. You must have great memories. Please accept a virtual hug. ! Mindy Seltzer

Both Thanksgiving and the holy seasons of Hannukah and Christmas have led us into the new year with the memories of our dear freinds being present with us to celebrate. Sandy was here in spirit and Jerry was here in person adding to our joy and commemoration of the seasons past when Sandy regaled all in attendance with her stories and laughter. We look forward to more seasons of joy that the seeds of her laughter encouraged.

I´m so sorry to learn of Sandy,s passing. We met each other some years ago in cardiac rehab and became friends. Sandy was such a fun person. She sent me many lovely e-cards which I always enjoyed. I am praying for God´s comfort for your family.
