On behalf of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses and the AACN Certification Corporation I would like to express our condolences. So many of our staff and volunteers over the years have been privileged to know and love Sandy. Her dedication to and passion for patient safety was an inspiration to all, and she served as a role model, particularly for nurses new to the world of professional certification. Her outgoing personality and infectious enthusiasm drew others to her like a magnet, making everyone feel welcome and valued members of any initiative. Her unquenchable desire to learn more in order to refine and continuously improve her certification programs was always evident. Over the years I attended countless meetings with Sandy; seeing her always brought a smile to my face because her attitude was relentlessly positive. She will be sorely missed by all of her nursing colleagues. May perpetual light shine upon her.
