It is tough to imagine a world without my beautiful loving Aunt. Never Forgotten YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, THAT SIMPLY CANNOT BE. AS LONG AS I AM LIVING, I'LL CARRY YOU WITH ME. SAFELY TUCKED WITHIN MY HEART, YOUR LIGHT WILL ALWAYS SHINE. A GLOWING EMBER NEVER STILLED, THROUGHOUT THE END OF TIME. NO MATTER WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS, OR WHAT MAY LIE AHEAD, I KNOW THAT YOU WILL WALK WITH ME, ALONG THE PATH I TREAD. SO REST MY ANGEL, BE AT PEACE, AND LET YOUR SOUL FLY FREE. ONE DAY I'LL JOIN YOUR GLORIOUS FLIGHT, FOR ALL ETERNITY. Love you 💜
Aunt Sandy is someone I always called beautiful and now with where she is now, she’s more beautiful then ever. She was always thinking of others and always picked the kind road. I will miss the laughs and cookies, I will make you proud beautiful and in the end I can’t wait to see you again and give you a big hug! Love you forever. John
Now you are in Heaven, Beautiful, and I still cannot believe you are gone. My heart breaks knowing you endured so much; however I will never forget your smile and the many laughs we had and the way you lit up a room with your presence. I will always cherish the time you took me downtown to see Santa and staying up late baking Christmas cookies. You were always like a second MOM to me, always willing to lend an ear and listen about life’s challenges and rewards. I witnessed the hard road you traveled just to be with us another day, all while your loving husband Rich, was by your side the entire time. What you both shared for sixty plus years will forever remain special in my heart, because I also was able to witness and cherish the love a husband has for his dear wife. It is hard to say goodbye to someone who has made an impact on all our lives. It is comforting to know that even though you are in Heaven looking down upon us, we will carry a part of you in our hearts as you walk beside us every day wherever we may go. Forever in our hearts, until we meet again…. I love you, Beautiful!!
Oh my dear Aunt Sandy aka Godmother and huge Elvis Presley fan. I enjoyed our Christmas get together's throughout the years growing up,the awesome baked goods and the times we were all together. I remember you would take us downtown to look at the windows decorated for Christmas...You were always smiling and cheerful and silly in life and you will truly be missed by all..Until I see you again..We love you very much..
Vivacious, kind, gentle, thoughtful beyond measure, astute in the ways of life, generous, always ready with a word of encouragement, a huge capacity for love. These are the qualities and characteristics of my extraordinary cousin, Sandy, whom I always regarded as a big sister. I am deeply saddened on the health concerns Sandy endured during the last years of her life and yet she persevered. A light has been diminished for us on earth; however, the heavens are more vibrant and glowing with her beautiful presence. Sandy, you will remain in my thoughts and heart forever. Love you, always, Jill
So sorry for your loss. She is now in a better place & not suffering any more.🙏🏼
Dear Rich, We will miss our beautiful Sandy. Sandy always had a smile and was nice to everyone. Sandy and Gloria always enjoyed looking at the beautiful Full Moon rising over our Wild Flower Park and talking about it from each of their own houses. They called themselves the “Moon Ladies” and Gloria will always think of Sandy on beautiful full moon evenings. Take care Rich. Much love, Gloria & Mike
Shocked to hear this. Had many a fun day when i worked with her. Always ready for a laugh and saw the good in people, even when they were mean to her. So sad
