Dear Sandra,

I am sorry about your loss. I feel your pain.

I remember when you and John came to my parents home in Munds Park, in 1979, for you to officiate the marriage of my brother, Dennis Hall, to Jill Webb. Jill was raised on your Lazy B Ranch, in Duncan.. I was in the wedding with you. That was when I met you and your husband, John. I recall how much I liked both you and your husband. Both of you and your husband were such kind and loving people. Each of...

Dear Sandra O'Connor,
Last night I was camping in the desert, reading your book, "The Lazy B". When I got back, my wife told me John O’Connor, had died.
I am so sorry. I wish “Happy Trails” for John, in his new destination.
Take Care,

Sandra, Brian,Scott and Jay, my thoughts and condolences are with you all. I have so many fond memories of the whole O'Conner family, picnics, back yard get togethers,and family outings! I shall always think of you all fondly, and John, was such a kind soul just like my father and mother were.

Justice O'Connor and family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. It has been a difficult journey with John's illness. I hope cherished memories will give you comfort and peace

Dear Sandra,
Though our efforts to reunite in these past few years were not fulfilled, I am none the less saddened by the fact that this will not be - as John will no longer pass this way again, nor walk with us on this earthly path.

With highest respect, the Watkins Family for the late Ralph A Watkins Jr. 602-525-4415

I admire your powerful example of having chosen to care for your husband for the many years of his illness. Our prayers are with you and for you during this very difficult time.

The Most Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor and Family: We are most saddened by your loss and extend our heartfelt condolences.I first met John in Phoenix in the early 70's. I was starting out in the practice of law while John was already a well established member of the Bar. We were on opposite sides in a lawsuit. I vividly recall that he treated me with great respect that day and thereafter. I have never forgotten that. I considered him a gentleman of the highest order....Frank Parks and wife Sue

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
