Sandi loved the mountains and after her children were grown she moved to Big Bear, California. It was there that she thrived making many dear life long friends.

In 1997 she relocated to Palm Desert with her daughter and son in-law. Sandi was a Caregiver not only by trade but now with her family. She developed lasting friendships with the families of patients she had cared for.
