After attending Sandra's Memorial yesterday, I was so impressed, but not surprised, with all the amazing accolades shared with many, many people at the gathering. I was one of the Nurses at St. Ann's Residence, when she worked there, and valued Sandra's sense of humour, love of the Sisters and other Patients, interactions with other staff and families. Her sudden passing was a terrible shock to everyone, and I send my deepest sympathy to Taffy, her Daughters and families and everyone who was lucky enough to spend time in her glowing presence. She will certainly never be forgotten by me.

I was sorry to hear that Sandra had passed away. I had the pleasure of working with Sandra at Glengarry. She was such a wonderful co-worker.
My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.
How you can show support

I'm thinking compassionate thoughts, and sending my (virtual) love at least, in the direction of Megan and David, with their sons. I'm sorry for your loss, and I wish you the best in working through it. I love the photo, and the necklace; the smile and the attentive, vibrant gaze into the camera. Oh ...

My love and thoughts are with all of Sandy's family and friends. This photo says just so much of her personality and Dr. Brook's words have captured Sandra the nurse to perfection! I feel so privileged to have known Sandy since high school days. Her vibrancy, smile, love and laughter will stay with me always. Look for a star in the sky that is smiling and laughing with you...you will have found Sandy.

Olivia and I were shocked and profoundly saddened to hear news of Sandra's untimely and totally unexpected death. Our deepest condolences go out to Taffy and the girls. I was fortunate to work with Sandra for many years in the Geriatric units at Fairfield Health Centre, and at VGH. We go back a long time. Sandra was the consummate nurse, bright, very knowledgeable, very funny but always professional. She had a very special kind, and gentle, way with the frail elderly, and fortunate indeed were the countless nursing and medical students, even the occasional greenhorn geriatrician like myself whom she inspired by her example. With her professionalism, charm and gentle cajoling she achieved wonderful results with patients of all kinds, and won the confidence and gratitude of their families. She was a bright star in the firmament. She will be greatly missed, and never forgotten.

My aunt was a resident at St. Ann's Residence during Sandra's time there. I remember her caring, enthusiasm, and good humour, a credit to her nursing profession, and to her human spirit. May family and friends be comforted by her memory, and inspired by her example.

Sandra was unforgettable. I had the good fortune to cross paths with her in nursing during the early '90s at the old GVHS. Sandra was unfailingly kind, gracious, upbeat and encouraging to me and to all staff and patients she came in contact with. Fondly remembered!

Karen and I are deeply-saddened to learn of Sandra's death. Our heartfelt condolences go to Taffy and family. Sandra was the heart and soul of Nursing and Geriatrics in this town. Her abiding love for sick old people was unmatched by any nurse, physician or health care professional. Sandra was the exemplar, inspiring us to heal our patients, through laughter, or flirtation, in any way we could to foster healing and recovery. She wielded beauty and charm beneficently and therapeutically. She was selfless, and she judged no one. As one who led by example, she will be long-remembered for her great good deeds, her vivacity, her selflessness and steadfastness in service to others, and as a role-model for excellence in the profession of Nursing. She was a nurse who laughed and loved with patients and families to relieve suffering. She was truly a Woman of Wisdom.
