Sandy was a great person and always a safe rider. This kind of thing could happen to anyone of us riders and it is so sad it happened to her. I am going to miss riding with her on Thursdays and on many poker runs. The family now knows how many people loved her and what great friends the Sliva family has. My prayers are with you!
