Ellen McClure wrote a sympathy message

“I was so sad to hear of Saundra’s passing. I have thought of her so fondly over the years. She was a brilliant, professional woman, but in my life she shone as a warm, supportive fellow mom of multiple kids. We compared notes and chuckled together over parenting experiences. I really cherished her friendship during our child-rearing years. Ellen McClure”
