My deepest condolences to the family of Sondra Ediden. Both she and Bob were there for so many of the highlights of my time time with Belmont Yacht Club as a member and as Commodore. The were both always willing to give a hand and a smile at all of the events we had. They will be one of my best memories of Chicago and the club, may their memory remain in the hearts of all who knew them.

I've known Sandy ever since I met her daughter, Melissa, in 1996. What an amazing, intelligent, well spoken, and thought provoking woman she was. She welcomed me into the family like an older brother of her three daughters. My heart pours out to them over their incredible loss.

Sandy, you will be missed but I know you will be looking down at us all and laughing that infectious laugh ... which I will forever remember.

John and I will always consider the hours we spent with Bob and Sandy golden. We shared with them a love of the opera and so many Friday evenings found us racing to the Loop to get into the Lyric just before the dinging started. After we'd discuss the merits of the performance over Due's pizza. I have many wonderfull memories of Sandy, but one of the best is when after we lost Bob, she took myself, my daughter Betsy and her daughter Nicole, friends since pre-school and now each expecting the babies (who would grow into giants). Sandy maneuvered that enormous boat out of the harbor like a pro. What a memorial sail we had. I wish you eternal good winds, dear friend. Love, Jule

I am so sorry to learn of Sandy's passing. Even though I have known her only several years thru Ginny Beck, we enjoyed many boating outings, parties, theatre and dinners. Just in January we celebrated our birthdays. She always enjoyed life to its fullest - a strong woman - fun times and just a wonderful person. I am so happy to have met her and enjoyed her company. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

We are truly saddened by the news of Sandy passing away and extend our sincere condolences to the family. We have many fond memories of Bob and Sandy going back to their fully welcoming my wife Mary and me into the Belmont Yacht Club a very long time ago. Sandy was always so full of energy and excitement in supporting the yacht club. She was always in the thick of it when it came to planning parties and sumptuous potluck dinners during the boating season and hosting theater outings and scavenger hunts during the winter months. Both Bob and Sandy were instrumental in encouraging and mentoring me to become Commodore of the yacht club and eventually the Commodore of the Chicago Yachting Association. I am forever grateful for their friendship and support. Sandy will be missed.

It is a sad day to hear about the passing of Sandy Edison. She (and Bob) were the reason we joined Belmont Yacht Club and shared with us many fun times. Her support during the years I was commodore was incredible. She not only will be missed but will be remembered by all who knew her.

Stunned to learn of Sandy's passing. She was such an active, vital, outgoing
member of OLLI. One could not help but admire her--truly a role model.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Sandy's passing. Sandy was a fine woman and a significant influence for good in others' lives. I am comforted because I am one of the lucky ones whose life was touched by this very special woman.

I join you and the many others who will miss her, but I remain grateful still for having known her.

I feel a real loss in her passing and want to extend my sympathy to you and your family. I especially want Melissa, Nicole, Mia and Cynthia to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember Sandy as an honest and cheerful woman who loved her friends as if they were family. I missed her warmth and humor. My visits to her home were always a treat. It is difficult to know what to do in times like these, especially since we lost touch over the years.

I am privileged to have known her. Please remember that I am here to help however I can.
