On July 2, 2022, Delray Beach lost a legend.  Sande, age 79, owner of Sande's Restaurant, "Where the Locals Go" always had a smile, a kind word and a quick wit for those who came to Sande's for a meal.  Together, Jim and Sande worked side by side everyday of their 53 years of marriage.  She will forever be his "Lulabell".  They made an amazing life for themselves and their children.  The community benefited greatly from their generosity over the years with donations monetarily, meals and time with the Elks Club, Mark Garretson Memorial Fishing Tournaments, and many other organizations.

Sande's greatest legacy was her children.  Their independence, strength, and zest for life made her proud every day.

Sande is survived by her soul mate and best friend, James Strong; her sons, Geoff and Kevin; her two daughters, Kim and Shayne, 7 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Thursday, July 7, 2022 from 5:00pm to 6:30pm with a 6:30pm Memorial Service at Lorne and Sons Funeral Home, 745 NE 6th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Alzheimer's Association .
