Sandy, It was a pleasure and professionally rewarding experience to know and work with you for over 22years at the Huntington VAMC. Your contribution to the education and orientation to new nursing staff members was invaluable. You are no longer physically with us, however your contributions to the care of veterans will live forever.
Your true expertise in the blood bank has indeed contributed to the savings of countless veterans lives.
Your mission is complete. May you rest in peace.
As a fellow soldier. I Salute You!

I can't believe that Sandy Estep is gone. I
was a long time friend and co worker for years. I haven't seen her for a few years but I always knew she was there and I could talk to her. We talked quiet often on the phone. I will truly miss her and I am sending her love and prayers.

My sympathy to the family of Darlene. We shared a homeroom through Barboursville Jr. and high schools.
I remember her as a kind and sensitive person. God's peace.
