Sandra Lay

Dorothy,

you, and those close to Sandy, are in my thoughts!

I am so sorry to finally find a way to get reconnected to the Lays, only to find that Sandra is no longer with you. Some people change the year, the day, the moment into sacred moments, into being truly present to the other, and we say it is their gift. It may be a gift, but receiving that gift is something sacred, for the receiver then becomes the giver, again and again, which sounds to me like what Sandra has done with her life. I am so sorry that I have not kept in touch, i lost my...

Sandy became more than a Patient of mine . I look forward seeing her for her infusion because I knew we were going to have so much fun that day. she would share so many story of her nursing career. I have nevered felt so much love from my patient as I did from her. I miss her so much and will always cherish her in my heart. memories.

Sandy was a wonderful, compassionate and classy lady. She took care of my mom back in 1991 when my mom was under hospice care for lung cancer. And what a great help she was to our family! I also enjoyed hearing about Buckwheat the duck and her "zoo" (as she called it) back when I lived in Austin. Dorothy, my heart hurts for you and your family's loss. She was one of a kind and will be missed. I have only good memories of her..the best.

What a beautiful tribute to a unique, one of a kind human being. I was honored to be one of Sandy's partners in crime while we had her on this Earth. She could make me laugh and cry at the same time w/such intensity and this tribute to her memory did just that. she would be pleased. God I miss her.

Sandy was a wonderful nurse and a dear friend. I was privileged to work with her for about ten years, and I do mean it was a privilege. She had the ability to show incredible tenderness and compassion to patients and families, but she also had a wickedly funny sense of humor. Though she had many health problems of her own and often was in pain, she could always muster her beautiful, sweet smile and kind words for patients in need, and for animals. And she could always laugh! I am so very...

Although I have not kept in close touch, I always knew that whenever we would see each other, it would be a joyous event. I have so many memories of her over the years, and all revolve around much shared laughter. Sandy was a wonderful friend to humans, friend to all 4-footed beasties, and even creepy crawlies. I will miss her.

Condolences to the Lay Family. Sandra's kind attention to so many animals will not be forgotten. Proverbs 12:10 says God will blessed those taking care of his creation...Sandra will be remembered for the love shown.
