It
is with a heavy heart and the very deepest sadness that we must acknowledge on this blog the untimely passing of Sandy Bernardoni, Director of Accounting of Steward
Property Services. Sandy slipped away in
her sleep sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, Jan. 31st.
Sandy's relationship with our
company started nearly 25 years ago as a Board member client. In the process, a deep and abiding personal
friendship developed, and years later, Sandy joined our company as the Director
of Accounting. For the past six years,
she has reigned supreme as the Mother Superior of the troops and has been
literally the heartbeat of our company.
She was there before everyone each morning, and was the keeper of the
secrets, the solver of problems, the "I'll do it, don't worry" person
in our office. Every office seems to be
afforded at least one such angel. Sandy
was ours.
There are absolutely no words to
describe how much she will be missed.
Her sudden passing was so unexpected it takes our breath away. At this moment, the void seems nearly insurmountable. At some point, we will move on. We will begin to look for that perfect person
to fill a void so deep. Finding such a
person will be a huge challenge.
We love you, Sandy. And we miss you, terribly.
