Sandra Ann McElwain

Samantha danced with my daughter, Jasmine, last summer in "Everybody Wants to be a Cat". Although I did not know Sandy very well, she seemed like such a strong and loving person. If Sam & Jessica ever need a ride to dance class, please contact me through my e-mail. I pray for your family and those two precious girls who were so loved by their mother. God Bless you all.

Sam and Jess,
You have been in my daily prayers these past two weeks, I remember fondly the walk we took recently together with your mom at Randys house, climbing those big hills and running fast down them! Jess you had your flip flops on and couldn't run so fast so mom put you on her back and carried you all the way to Randys! We laughed about trying not to step in the goose "poop", what a fun time! God Bless you both.

Sandra was a high school friend of mine. We ran track together- she always kept me motivated to do my best when I didn't feel like running. She was an inspiration and a good friend. I last spoke to her a year ago & she went on and on about her daughters and her love for dancing. She adored her girls! Her infectious positive attitude will be missed. My prayers go out to her family.

Leona and Jerry,

I was so sorry to hear about Sandy. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Sandy touched so many lives well beyond her immediate circle - this to me is a true child of God! Sandy had mastered the meaning of mixing business with pleasure - it was always so much fun working with her. Sandy's SPIRIT has touched many and will continue to for many years to come. Blessings to you all!

For Sam and Jessie

When darkness lifts, revealing light
you’ll greet another day
And know your mom is near you
as she guides you on your way
Gathering at a table
with a meal you’re soon to eat
Your mom is watching over
and delights in all that’s sweet
As you cherish in the moments
with a clown, or dance, or toys
Your mom sees all the good times
and the things that you enjoy
And as family,...

Sandy was a very special person to me, as she was to all of us. I will remember her always and cherish each moment I shared with her.

Sandy was one of those precious people who seemed to connect with every person she came in contact with. She was a very sweet and genuine person who seemed so full of life. She represented everything good that a person could be. My heart aches thinking that she is no longer with us. I can’t imagine the grief that her family and children are going through at this moment. It is so tragic that her life should end. I’m sure that Sandy will live on in the memories of the many people she touched....

I feel honored to have known such a beautiful person. Sandy was an inspiration to all who knew her. Full of life and love ~ We will miss her.
