This is certainly a sad day in EFHS classmate history to learn of Sandra passing. She was such a sweet young classmate who always had a big smile and a cheerful attitude and display of kindness to others. I once as a school bus driver came upon the wreck on the bridge from East she was a passenger in and had very cut and bloody knee from hitting the dashboard and controls. I took first aide kit from bus and administered to her needs as best as possible. It was a memory I never forgot about her and helping give back to a lovely classmate. Sandra suffered health issues through the years but never gave up hope of healing and always thought of others first, contacted them through emails and always kept her faith in GOD. I pray she is now at peace with Jesus as her reward. May you forever fly high with Eagles on Angel wings. Rest in Peace now dear friend. Prayers for all of her family. William "Billy" Long, Jr.
