Not sure what to say?

I have to say that Sandy was one of the sweetest Ladies I ever had the honor of being her caregiver. She was always so upbeat most of the time and when she wasn't we would cry together and pray together. I will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart for Sandy. I loved you then and still love you now and always. R.I.P. Sweet Lady !

God Bless You Dick & Family for your tender care of your precious Sister Sandy.

Dear Dick and family,
We met Sandy through my Mom Barbara Rhoades . They were residents at the same retirement home The Wellington in NRH, TX. I would have to write a book to tell you how much fun we all had with Sandy. My Mom & her called me Cherylee Dayle. No one else probably ever will. It was a knick name I will cherish as I loved Sandy so much. She claimed Mom taught her how to be closer to God. She taught us. The grace and beauty she showed daily in her struggles with life...

What an honor it was to know and care for such a beautiful, gracious soul. Sandy was a blessing and inspiration to every person who had the opportunity to cross paths with her. I believe she touched the lives of every person she met-leaving a lasting impression with each of us. Despite going through her own struggles, she always put others first. Constantly showing care, love, and concern for those around her. Her presence was truly a gift-one that will be forever in our hearts. So to...

Sandy was one of the most authentic, beautiful people I have ever known. She amazed me, because she had some valid reasons to be bitter or down about life; yet she managed her challenges with pure grace and genuine poise, as well as a mischievous sense of humor -she would check during my visits and let me know if I needed to shave my legs or repaint my toenails:) She taught me that taking pride in your appearance didn't have to do with vanity - that it made you feel better about yourself, and...

Whenever I was greeted by my Aunt, she delivered a smile, a compliment and sincerity. Her young spirit enthusiastically participated for her life's journey.

Aunt Sandy was such a gift, always on queue to pull you into warm conversation and kind pleasantries. A master of the interpersonal and unspoken teacher of personal strength and grace, Aunt Sandy will live in us all an eternal example of “how to be a better person.” Aunt Sandy's graceful passing imprints upon us the courage to face our “end of life” fears, shaping our lives until the day we are together again. Love you Aunt Sandy, Nephew Brian.

A formidable spirit, a loving soul, and a bright light has been taken from us too soon. Thank you, Aunt Sandy, for sharing your amazing gifts with me. Be free from the bonds of earth, watch over, and protect us.

Sandy was my pal for so many wonderful events in my life. We shared racing-boy were our husbands happy boys! The Jags of course. We had a wild Jag Western Night party where the ladies were kidnapped by masked cowboys. Our husbands offered to pay ransom NOT to get us back! Miss you forever LADY
