I worked with Sandra many years ago at NASA. I was delighted to see her again and hear her voice welcome me to the neighborhood when I moved last year. I'll cherish memories of her and think of her smile and those twinkling, mischievous eyes whenever I look at the stars. Your family will be in my prayers at this difficult time.

Sandra is my cousin on my dad's side and though we lost contact over the years I always remember her and Patti as teenagers at our annual "Pair Family Reunions" up on the "Hill" in Emporia, Va...
Sandra was ALWAYS smiling, cracking jokes and making me laugh while we went swimming in the cement pond, ate Uncle Marvin's Chicken Muttle and hung out in Cousin Silvia's room talking about boys..She was a few years older than me and I thought she was just so cool...
God bless my Aunt Frances, Cousin Patty and Sandra's family in this time of sorrow.
Much Love and Prayers

I was saddened to hear of Sandra's passing. "Glenn" was a good friend. We had many early-morning talks when we worked together at NASA LaRC for all those years, attended/graduated from St. Leo together, cried together when she was diagnosed, and rejoiced together when she was able to retire early. I'll miss her but find comfort in knowing she's no longer in pain and resting with God. Eddie, Chris, Luke, and the Pair family, you're in my prayers.

Sandra was a beautiful, caring, giving, person. I thank God everyday for bringing her into our family. She was a wonderful mother to Chris and Luke, as well as a great wife to Eddie. She always brought a smile to everyone's faces when she entered a room. I will always cherish my memories of the times I spent with her at our family gatherings and outdoor concerts we went to. I will miss her greatly, but am glad she no longer suffers and that God has called her up to heaven as our angel to watch over all of us now. I will choose to celebrate her life instead of being saddened, because that it what I believe she would want me to do. I LOVE ya SIS.

Sandra moved into the neighborhood a couple of months after I did. She was so happy to be in her new home. She was always such a "jolly" person full of laughter and good times. She was a wonderful neighbor and good friend. I will always remember her as I first met her, with her long brown hair pulled back, that huge smile with laughter coming out, and saying, "Hi! I'm Sandra Glenn!"

As my mother, she was the greatest women I've ever met. In her last years, I took care of her till her last breath, just as she cared for me all the 18 years I lived. She will always be in my memories, and I shall see her again.

I cannot express my extreme regret in not seeing you again after all the years apart after school. I was so happy to reconnect with you this year. I will always remember you as that wonderful, joyful, silly girl from school. Rest in peace, Sandra.

My heart is filled with wonderful memories of a life well lived and Sandra I celebrate you! From the time we met in high school to the numerous bluegrass festivals where we partied and danced the night away (and you introduced me to your "Seester", Patti). The Girls Beach Days, Bay Days, parties, lunches and other times we shared as friends will always be with us. Our last few visits spent one on one chatting about life, cancer, family, relationships and love were especially meaningful to me.
"Sanders" you touched many lives and I will hold my memories of our times shared dear to my heart forever.
Godspeed and may the bluegrass music in heaven be magical and joyous!
I love you!
