sandra teel trainer

Sandy and her family were an important part of the Chapman family. I remember when I first met Sandy, when my mom (Pat Chapman) and I(Beth Chapman Braun) went to meet Marsha soon after she arrived. We spent many days over the years swimming and ice skating on the pond in Gardenville.I went with the Trainers to Nantucket as a babysitter for 3 summers and learned not to touch a homemade lollipop until it cooled! Going to Nantucket with them and the Thomases was the most fun i'd have all year, especially when my best friend Sue Braun, came as another sitter. That was the time I realized I loved spending time with children and I still work with children today. Sandy was always welcoming to me, and I enjoyed when we got together. My family was always present at New Years day parties, and as we grew up and added spouses and children, we all attended and were possibly the largest family group there! When Sandy moved to Portland, we always looked forward to birthday cards and the Christmas letter. I often thought of Sandy when I would have to make a grown up decision! She made a difference in my life and I will always remember her fondly. To Dwight, David, Marsha and your families, I send my condolences. You were all important to me and I hope the good memories help you during this time. Love, Beth Braun, Jim and Kelly Braun
