    Andrew, Matt, Pete and Tim
    We were deeply sadden by the news of Sandi’s passing. We knew Sandi through the swimming years. She was a great supporter or her sons’ swimming teams. We spent many hours together planning pasta parties, as officers of the booster clubs and attending countless hours of competitions. She was a special person that will be missed and will live on in our memories forever. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
    Sincerely,
    Dave and Carol Carmichael

    We are so very sorry to hear of Sandy’s passing. My sister Loris and I have such wonderful memories growing up with the entire Lovell family. We are so sad to hear that Sandy is no longer with us and her lovely mom. One of my fondest memories is having dinner with all of them and eating the best rainbow trout I’ve ever had. I don’t remember if Sandy helped her dad catch it, but I wouldn’t be surprised. We we’re blessed to grow up with the Lovell family and wish to extend are deepest sympathy to the Lovell and Goldsmith family. Our prayers are with you.
