Angels Over Sandpoint North Idaho is home to special people who embrace the value of living in a small community knowing your neighbors and lending a helping hand in need. This selfless spirit directly inspired the formation of the Angels Over Sandpoint. In 1997 when longtime Sandpoint resident Kathy Pelland died tragically at the hands of an oncoming drunk driver on the Long Bridge hundreds of people turned out for her memorial. In sharing stories and recollections a common phrase was repeated over and over Kathy helped me when Invariably a story would follow about how she had been a good friend regardless of time or circumstance and had always lifted spirits without ever letting anyone down.
