No one Loved me like my mother! She spoiled me with that love. She expected alot from me and I know I let her down in so many ways while growing up with the decisions I made. But I never disappointed her in the way I raised my children. I remember my first ultrasound with my first child Hannah. My mom was there and when she found out she was having a granddaughter she ran out and bought baby girl clothes. As much as she loved Hannah and spent almost all her time with that girl it was when my son Collin came that I think she really understood him! She herself was an eternal tomboy! My children are still to young to realize how much she understood them as children and how much fun she had with them. One day they will and I hope they realize how lucky they were. Growing up I remember camping, hiking, horseback riding, Christmas with my mothers family, hiking to Feather Falls on easter and waking up to a bunny in my sleeping bag. One Christmas we were so poor she worked to jobs and we lived with family. We cut a small Charlie Brown x-mas tree from Kathy and Bobs property and put it into a giant glass pickle jar. I decorated it with popcorn.There were very few presents that year but It was the best christmas ever! She always filled my life with new experiances and fun. As I got older we butted heads, a lot! I had become as strong welled as she was! But we always LOVED each other! When she got sick and then Lynn it was unreal. I came up the hill almost every day. i cried all the way there and all the way home. How could these pillers of my life be coming down? When Lynn passed my mother was so alone and nothing could fill that void! She kept to her self and let me know very little of her own condition. She was strong and independent! She would never ask for help! After a very long time of taking care of the ranch by herself she could not do it any more. She asked the kids and I to move in with her. We had so much fun while her health lasted. we trained Athena, gelded Dewley, raised chickens, had a garden, and she had me cook her all her favorite foods and passed all her secrets for cooking down to me. No one Loved me like she did no one ever will. She was my Mommy and I do not ever think this pain will go away. Those who say it gets easier have never had a love like ours. She is my MOMMY and a daughters best friend!

I'm so sorry the timing was wrong for us to attend Sandy's service, but our thoughts were certainly there. Sandy and my brother Lynn had some wonderful years together and the love they shared was fun to see. We visited them in Yuba City, Brownsville, and their cabin near Lassen, and they visited us here in Idaho several times as well.
On several occasions they, sister Peggy & her Dick and Gary and I met in St. George, Utah at Thanksgiving and we have great memories of those meetings.
She was a Fabulous cook--I remember her saying she wanted no help in the preparation, no matter how many she was serving, but Please show up for the clean-up! I miss them both and I miss my phone visits with Sandy--I never did get her on email!
She'll be missed, I know, by many,

Sandy and I were friends, best friends, from the moment we met. We were both nervous freshmen on the first day of high school. We met in front of the mirrors in the girls restroom during our lunch recess, and spent many years (50 years to be exact) sharing a friendship.
Of course in high school our main interest was boys, but as the years went by our friendship grew much deeper.
We went to business college together, where we managed to share a room in a girls boarding house where we lived. We didn't start out sharing a room because our house mother thought we should meet other girls and not be together so much. Well, soon after we moved in Grace (the house mother) fell down a flight of stairs and broke her ankle. We took advantage of the fact that she couldn't climb the stairs any more and quickly moved our beds even further away.... up into the attic. We spent many long hours in each others company, eating hot peppers and peanuts, listening to music, and discussing everything possible. I loved her friendship, and I was so happy we were together, even then she made everything more fun.
Shortly after graduation she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding when she and Tim were married. Then along came beautiful baby Jennifer. Bob and I were so lucky to have Sandy and Jennifer be part of our family. They would spend days at a time with us... camping, cooking , riding horses, caring for our farm animals, and just enjoying being together.
Each year we celebrated her birthday by having a great picnic. Her friends would all be there including her horse, Frisco. And as she always did, she made sure everyone had a good time.
When she married Lynn her prayers were answered. She always wanted to live a full rich life, and with him she did. They built a beautiful home, spent a lot of time traveling ,which they both loved, visiting their cabin and birding.
What I loved most about Sandy was her love of life. She loved to have a good time, and was always up for an adventure. She and Lynn often had parties, getting everyone together and she'd prepare wonderful meals. She had a passionate love for her animals, and she would do anything for them.
I was lucky enough to be able to spend many hours with her at the end. Bless her heart, this spring she wanted to take a trip to Fort Bragg. So Jennifer arranged a trip for all of us, Larry and Cindy, Jennifer, Hannah, and Colin, Bob and me. It was so satisfying for all of us. Once again, she did everything she could to make sure everyone had a good time.
I love you Sandy, and you'll always a special place in my heart.
Good by Friend... Till we meet again.

Remembering your great love story today and always.

Jennifer and Hanna,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your Mom & Grandma. I have fond memories of some great times sitting around the campfire at Warner Valley with all of you. Besides all the stories and beer/ wine accompanyments I remember one time in particular when I was so surprised at how much I liked Sandy's fried green tomatoes that I was talked into trying one night especially since I didn't like tomatoes of any kind at the time. Funny how some little memories persist huh!
I apologize for not being able to attend Sandy's memorial today but I had another long term committment. Stacy & I will be making a contribution to the Fremont Rideout Cancer center in Sandy's name.
May she rest in peace...Bill Meagher

Sandy was my very first friend. I was 5, she was 7. She and her family only lived a short distance down Simpson Lane from us, in 1955. I fell off a horse, her horse, for the very first time, dragging her along with me..She landed on the pitchfork. I got my very first toothache at her house eating caramels.. and I blew my first homemade bubbles with her, made from Cheer laundry soap! There were many childhood 'firsts' I can remember having at her house..and if a person has to have them, Sandy was the one to have them with. She would either fret and cluck, like an old mother hen over you, or tease you mercilessly.. but either way, it made the memories special. And I would willingly choose to go through the most painful "firsts" all over again, if she were there with me. Both she and sister Patricia, were very loving individuals, and Sandy was like a mentor to me, teaching me how to receive, as well as give friendship. Just knowing that they are now both gone from this life, gives me a very lonely feeling. Yet, knowing they are now together, as the loving sisters they always were to each other, is a joy for sure. I will hold Sandy in loving remembrance often, as well as Patricia, and their mother Vera; and to Sandy's dad, Pat, I wish to convey my deepest, most heartelt condolences. May God comfort your soul as time passes.

I had the honor of working with Sandy at Fremont Hospital. She was such a classy lady - who loved her daughter (She had the most precious picture of her daughter on her first day of school at her desk always) - She would bring us the best homemade guacamole - and was just a joy to be around. She will be missed - and remembered with love.
