That was my friend, Sandra. I will miss her support, friendship and laughter. May God bless her and all her family now and always.

She was my bus driver when I was younger and I loved her. I was able to catch up with her in recent years and enjoyed seeing her as a "regular" person and not just my bus driver. She was always "stern but kind," especially if you didn't cause trouble! Peace be with her friends and family at this difficult time...
