To Sandi's family,
Sandi was a truly wonderful and cherished friend of mine. We endured 3 long years of grad school, and I don't know how I would have made it through without her. We continued our friendship past graduation, and I am devastated that our friendship on earth was so short lived. I will remember and love her always, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Although we met thru dogs you became a part of my life. I will deeply miss our short friendship, but will cherish it always. I am sure "Jetter" was waiting with tail wagging!!

Dear Mrs V, Jenine & Susan & families,
I wish I knew where to begin to express to you all how sorry we are. We embrace you all tightly. Our hearts cry and ache deeply for you.
There are no words to comfort you for your loss & all your pain.
Sandi will always be remembered in our hearts forever!
LIFE...so fragile. LOSS... so sudden. HEART...so broken.
In the wake of such a loss, we're haunted by things we don't - and may never - understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you, hold you close, and give you peace.
May you find the peace and love in the memories you cherish.
Love, Robert & Pamella (Specht) Engel and family

Aunt MaryAnn, Jenine and Susan,
Our thoughts are prayers are with you during this unimaginable time of grief. Sandy made more of an impact on the lives of others in her short 36 years than most do in a lifetime. I wish we could be there with you, but know that we are thinking of you and your families.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
