Dear Friends,

On November 21st, Sandy, my wife of 27 years, the proud mother and fierce protector of our two boys, my steadfast “ride-or-die”, the bedrock on which our Family stood, and the truest of friend to so many, passed away. She took her last breaths peacefully at home and cradled in my arms, as we both wished.

She was the kindest, most loyal, thoughtful, generous, and courageous person I have ever known. Sandy was the Sun around which our family and friends orbited and the glue which bound us all together. The world was a better place with her in it.

Absolutely beautiful on the outside, she was infinitely more so on the inside. She was a genuinely kind and caring soul who carved herself into the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her. And it is this legacy...this priceless gift... which will live on in our boys Alex and Antonio, along with the countless others whom she mentored and helped to raise.

True to her nature, she refused to be deterred by stage 4 cancer with a prognosis of mere months to live. Instead, she fought it valiantly and blessed us with three more years of birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and cherished memories together. I will be forever grateful for every minute with her.

A Memorial for Sandy will be held on Sunday, December 13th. Doors will open at 3pm for visitation with family and friends. The program starts at 4pm.

It will be held in the Julius Littman Performing Arts Theater at NMB City Hall:

17011 NE 19 Ave

North Miami Beach, FL 33162

Due to Covid restrictions, attendance is limited. The program will be streamed live for those who cannot attend. Streaming will be live at www.SandyShinego.com

Sandy's wish was for everyone reading this to not send flowers...but instead, please donate that amount to the Mystic Force Foundation, where those dollars will do more to help kids fighting this evil disease and hopefully find a cure.

With love and gratitude for all of you who have touched Sandy's life,

George, Alex & Antonio
