In memory of a life lived fully, with passion, kindness, and a love for adventure.
Blake Nichols Sandy, a friend and avid supporter of EHP, passed away on August 20, 2026. He lived his life to the fullest and would want his life remembered as a celebration of the opportunities we are given to make life extraordinary.
He believed deeply in giving to others and found that helping those less fortunate brought him more satisfaction than material things ever could. Blake will be missed by his friends at EHP.

June 12, 1946 – July 9, 2025
Alison Slone Hengehold, 79, of Menlo Park, loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, neighbor and friend, passed away on July 9, 2025.
Alison was a devoted and valued member of the EHP family. She served as an EHP board member for over a decade and continued to volunteer with the program after her time on the board. She was a generous donor and a friend to the hopeless and helpless. She worked tirelessly in the care of her neighbors in need. Always a smile on her face, she preferred working quietly in the background, shying away from any public recognition of her deeds and donations. An ever loyal friend, she could be counted on whenever the need would arise.
The impact Alison made on the lives of the disadvantaged will be felt for generations to come and we will never forget what she meant to the program. She will be missed greatly and we send our loving thoughts and prayers to the Hengehold & Slone families.
