Walking at the Botanical Gardens, on the beach, on Manhattan streets, watching shows, dining out and let me not forget the joy of shopping!! We always had fun and treasured our time together!! She will forever and always remain in my heart. Love never dies.”

Laura Stafford wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences to Sandy's family. I had the honor and pleasure of working with Sandy at Hillside for 16 years. Her devotion to her students and her advocacy for their welfare were inspiring. I have especially fond memories of the times Sandy and I realized that we were both still at our computers at school at 6PM and would make a pact to drag each other home at a set time. We would laugh and decompress and then walk to our cars. Wonderful memories of a wonderful human being. Laura Stafford”

“In loving memory of Sandy Lutzker, My thoughts and prayers are with Sandy's family and friends during this difficult time. Although I only met Sandy in person a couple of times, she was always in my thoughts. My sister Kathy was her dear friend. I often received photos of the two of them at the Botanical Gardens, so I feel like I knew her. If I lived closer, I would have had the great pleasure of knowing her more. May she rest in peace and may treasured memories bring healing.”

Mary Brewer wrote a sympathy message

“The day Sandy started working at Hillside was the day I met her. Over half my lifetime ago. We had side-by-side offices, and immediately began to support each other through the difficulties and triumphs in our lives. She was the most giving person i have ever met, and always found time to lend an ear or lend a hand. She cared deeply about her family and friends, her students and their families, but also about people she had never even met, but whose stories she heard about or read. I miss her.”

“My deepest condolences to the entire family. Sandy was a dear friend and colleague for many years. She was dedicated to her students and was always so proud of each goal they reached. One of my favorite memories with Sandy at school was when she would make potato latkas and bring them in for my first grade class. The students and I loved sampling them with apple sauce or sour cream. She will be missed by many who loved her! Praying the fond memories shared bring comfort to your hearts!”
