Dohn ~ I just now learned of your mom's passing when my sister told me when I visited her on Sunday. I am so sorry. We were friends on Facebook, and she was so kind to me, giving me words of encouragement when I was going through chemo for ovarian cancer and giving me great wig advice. I enjoyed catching up with her and sharing some old photos with her. Let perpetual light shine upon her, O Lord.

Dohn and Scott,
My deepest condolences to you and all of Sandys family... I just learned about her passing... had I known I would have gone to her funeral for sure.
What a hoot she was! I worked with Charlotte at Dr. Vidrines office for 17 yrs. I still miss her.
Sandy was in and out of the office all those years making us laugh and catching us up on QVC ha. She came in August with her Funny self for some dental work. I am so thankful we got to visit and catch up along with some good laughs! She shared her anxiety about her illness with me. We hugged bye and I told her I would be praying for her. Just think what a reunion she had with Charlotte and her parents!!!
God bless you and yours...

Dohn and Scottie,

Just heard about your mom via DJ...

My memories of her - Sandy holding court at Chez Labiche as we played pool and drank cheap beer on Saturday nights while listening to Stevie Wonder and Boz Scaggs. She'd listen to our BS and throw some back at us as well.

Some folks are really larger than life...Sandy was definitely in that category, in the best sense of the words.

So sorry for your loss you two....

Oh San.... you have had a corner of my heart for 64 years.. it belonged to you! We could pick up where we left off from our last visit and giggle so hard. You are my sister thru life, my maid of honor as Donald sang at my wedding g, ... we shared our secrets and found someway to giggle thru it. We are told that where you are going is the best life, no pain, sorrow, no QVC .. look for me when its my time, I will need you even then. Save me a place ... I will always love you my sister !!

My sincere condolences go out to all of Sandys family. My heart is truly hurting with you. I last saw Sandy a few months back when we ran into each other at the Dollar General. Im am so thankful I got that wonderful hug from her and was able to catch up with her. I love her BIG personality and her wit. She will be missed.

Oh, Dear Sandy! We will miss you so much! You were such a wonderful friend and neighbor. We pray your family will always be able to sense your love and will keep you alive through all the wonderful stories you left them. We also hope they are able to see and hear you in each other, through smiles, through laughter, through stories you told them. You will be remembered for your wit and your honesty! You overcame so much in your lifetime! Now, you can celebrate your new life in Heaven with Dalton, Ashley and the rest of your loved ones who went home before you. You and your family will ALWAYS be very special in our memories and our thoughts and prayers! We love you! Lee & Kathy and our entire family!
