Dear Dick and Family,
I have known Sandy for 60 years, since we were little ones,that I can remember. Thanks to the bonding and friendship our parents created for us.
She was always so much fun, we not only grew up together and remained friends but career changes took me away from Lemont and we still stayed so true and close that about 10 years ago Sandy decided we should be each others Sister, hence we called each other Sis.
Sandy was always full of energy and happiness and always offering to help out, the military, with care packages to her hobby projects, sewing, and baking her famous bread for the church fund raisers She had so much love for her family and husband and even taught me to cook some Polish style food which she learned from her Mom.
I will always remember Sandy with very fond memories and I am sorry I was not able to attend the funeral but prayers to her and your family are being said.
She is now with the Lord and she is resting peacefully and no more suffering from cancer.
God Bless You,
Barbara Pukis

It is a true pleasure to have spent time with the Gotlund family while in Pentwater. Our time with Sandy and family has always been laugh filled and family focused. Sandy's love for her family was always evident.

Dear Richard and family,
It was a pleasure knowing Sandy, I worked with her at Argonne for about 6 years before she retired. She was a wonderful woman with a heart of gold. I'm very sorry for your loss.

September 18, 2013

Knowing Sandy these past 40 years has been a pleasure that I am so grateful for. She was just as much a member of our family as any of my siblings and I will miss her. We often talked about being a "mother of boys" and how wonderful it was. Our deepest sympathies to Dick, Rich, Rudy and all of the Gotlund family.

I am so sad to hear this news. Sandy, with her astute professionalism, hospitable kind smile, and gentle manner, is pivotal for my memories of the Argonne HEP group.

Dear Richard and family,
I will always remember the fun and hard work we faced together at Argonne Lab working with the students and professors from the Midwest colleges '66-'70. Sandy was my good friend and it was an honor to have her help me with my wedding plans and being bridesmaid. My prayers and memories are with you.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of Sandy. I worked with her from about 1997 to 2009 at Argonne National Lab, and she was one of the high points of my experience there. She was one of those few rare and wonderful people who made the world around her a brighter place. And while I haven't had a chance to see her in about four years, I can still feel that this world is a little bit less without her in it.
