THE LITERARY HEART
“Some lives are remembered in photographs. Yours is remembered in the people who still smile when they say your name.”Original text written for Sandi
THE FILM WE ARE BUILDING
Eight rooms. One unfolding story.
The public site gathers the pieces. On August 11, those pieces become a private documentary and living archive created only for Sandi.
Growing Up in Roslyn
Childhood, school days, family traditions, and a friendship with Beth that began in grade school.
Finding Her Voice
Boston University, an English and psychology double major, and a semester abroad in England.
Building Something Bigger
Magazine advertising, Oracle, global process ownership, leadership, and work that shaped how people and resources move.
The Family She Chose
Love, partnership, and the chapter in which she became a stepmother to Bram and Josephine.
Around the World
Iceland, Spain, England, France, Italy, Puerto Rico, Israel, and the memories carried home.
The People Who Love Her
Nathan and Fay, Jenny and E, Steven and Debi, cousins, friends, colleagues, and generations of family.
Still Becoming
A celebration of fifty years—and every unwritten page still ahead.
ONE MEMORY IS ENOUGH
Help us make sure her story includes you.
