Sandra’s early interests included figure skating, English riding, piano and she was an accomplished seamstress. Her most recent passions included travel, walking (sometimes with her little companion Cookie), and spending time with Jessica and Kassandra who lived close by and brought joy and fun to Sandra and Lorne’s lives.
