Sandy's family has asked us to share this information with everyone.
There will be a private funeral this weekend, family only. They've asked that their wish to grieve in seclusion be honored. However, if you would like to send flowers, they would be welcomed. The flowers should be sent to Forest Lawn in Cypress, California, and should be directed to arrive by Friday afternoon. Forest Lawn has it's own florist on premesis, and flowers can be ordered via their website: www.forestlawn.com
There will be a public memorial on Saturday, December 9th, in Hollywood. Her family will be present, and her friends, fellow musicians and fans are all welcome to attend Sandy's public memorial, so, once again, please let's allow the family their privacy for her funeral. We will make an official announcement regarding Sandy's memorial in the next couple of weeks.

Share Sandy's Music ~
Another worthy tribute to Sandy - consider that for the average price of a bouquet, you could buy 5 copies of "Live in Japan" and share them with people who may not have had the pleasure. Help us keep Sandy's legacy alive...spread the music for which Sandy was most proud! The below links will take you to Amazon.com.
