Sandra was an extraordinary person with such an unforgettable laugh that perfectly accompanied her eccentric sense of humor in life. She delighted in freedom and helped others see beauty in the things that we often take for granted or are unable to recognize. She lived an incredible life and touched the lives of so many. She was a rare person who withstood adversities that many people can’t even imagine, yet she did so with charm and marvelous spirit. She was a single mother who prided herself in raising 2 boys on her own who rose out of dire circumstances because of her incredible will. Sandra married and had her first son, Steven Fontes. Years later Sandra remarried and had her second son, Brian Berrellez. Many years later she found a gentleman, Bobby Thomas, who so deeply cared for her and whom she ended up marrying. Sandra demonstrated an absolute example of an independent and strong woman who left so many wondrous memories. She raised her two boys with her driven and independent nature. Sandra is survived by: her 4 sisters, Brenda, Monica, Nadine, and Norma; her 2 children, Steve and Brian; and, her two strong-willed companions (parrots), Vanilla and Dino. She is someone truly unforgettable and who touched this world in ways that will continue to ripple across spacetime. .
