In 1981, I moved to Butte with my husband, Sandra’s baby brother. It was trying times for us as a newly married couple, and Sandra was the best sister inlaw, always encouraging and helpful. Even with money tight, she took me out for a girl’s day and tacos. I can only imagine the same love and compassion she shared throughout her life. She was truly a blessing.
My deepest condolences and prayers are with her family during this time .
