Not sure what to say?





My dearest Sandra,

Someone recently told me, "Grief is the price that you pay for love". This is so true. I love you and miss you more than ever - nine years later -, but I am determined to live my life in a way that makes your rest that much easier!

You are my twin, my confidant, my buddy, and my best friend! I can't wait to see you, hug you, and talk with you again! This is my blessed hope!

I will never stop loving you or remembering you! Rest easy, my sweet sister!

Your big sis,
Susan

Wow! I can´t believe it´s been 9 years. I think of Sandra often. When I do, a smile comes on my face. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Her love for the Lord was so bright. I´m so glad to have known her.

My dearest Sandra:

I miss you, and I thank you. You have always been and continue to be my twin and best friend. Although I would have loved to be able to continue to see you, talk to you, and hug you in this life, you have given me so much while you were here that I will never run out of memories of you for the rest of my life!

It was truly an honor to walk beside an amazing person! I was constantly in awe of you; your strength, courage, passion, and many gifts filled my life and the lives of many others with blessings because of your existence.

I miss you so much! You never cease to amaze me! You were my biggest cheerleader and you still are - thank you for visiting me often in my dreams.

I can’t wait to see you again, my twin and my sister! I love you!

I was truly blessed to have known, and worked with Sandra. She had such a sweet, gentle spirit. Just the other day Ten Thousand Years played on the radio. Sandra immediately came to mind. When I learned about her death that song was playing on Z88.3 (Christian radio station in Orlando). I could see Sandra singing that song to our Lord. May He continue to bless her family and friends as they/we remember her today.

On October 13, 2013, time seemed to stand still. Sandra, you left this world silently; six years later, I am yet still trying to process losing my best friend from before I was even born! It has been an honor and a privilege to call you sister, friend - and most importantly - my twin! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! ~ ♡ ~

Such a precious young lady. I'm so glad God gave me the opportunity to know Sandra and her sweet spirit. Her smile lit up the room. She lived the life God called her to live. She ran the race, and finished strong. Heaven is a brighter place now. May our heavenly Father bring peace and comfort to her wonderful family. Love Judy Friend

Sandy, what an encouragement you were to my family, especially my brother and I. I'll never forget you and your sweet spirit. You were truly the light of Jesus everywhere you went. Though I was young, I understood that Jesus was your center of life, a true example of what happens when God makes his home in someone's heart. You will be missed. Jesus is far better though...

Sandra was a dear friend of mine while we worked together at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. She was a hard worker who always had a BIG smile on her face!! She was loved by ALL who had the pleasure of working alongside her. She and I spent many hours alongside each other working over nights and on the front desk before she devoted most of her time to becoming front desk runner. I loved her smile. It was infectious. I still cannot believe she is gone. I life taken way too soon. May God rest her soul, and may she look down on her family and friends always smiling on them. RIP Sandra you will be sorely missed!!

I met Sandra during our time together at the WDW College Program in 2007. Though we unfortunately fell out of touch, I will always remember her bright smile, warm laugh, and generous spirit. I never heard her say anything that wasn't sweet and gracious. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out, and will be sorely missed by all whose lives she touched. All of my thoughts and prayers are with her family in this most trying of times.

My love and prayers go out to the Snell family, you all have been a part of my family for many years, starting with your parents (grandparents). Losing Sandy is almost to much to bear, but since I know that our God will not put more on you than you can bear let's me know that He being the God of ALL comfort will comfort your hearts through it all. Even in the midnight hour when you are feeling all alone He will be there to comfort you. I love you all with all my heart. If you need me for anything please don't hesitate to let me know and if it's in my power to do I'll be there. Love always, Aunt Betty
