Sandra Lee Needham Nelson

Kurt & family,
Aaron wrote the following poem and I wanted to put it in here for you. He indicated that was okay since it was thinking of you and Sandy that he wanted to write something.
Love, Marcia.

Remember Me
by Aaron Adams

Remember during our last days all the things we said
The life we made together since the day we wed.
We talked about the world beyond and what awaits us there
Stories of love of laughter gladly did we share.

Remember me...

To the entire Nelson family,

I am so heartbroken about Sandy. As you all know, Sandy is an AMAZING woman! I worked with her in data entry at Vital Records for a few years and am so greatful to have had the chance to sit down and talk with such a kind soul on a daily basis. She taught me so many things like accepting everyone no matter who they were. We were so different in a lot of ways, but became great friends by focusing on our similarities rather than our differences. Sandy had a...

It's been hard to leave an entry here because it is so unbelievable that Sandy is really gone. I want all of you to know how much I truly love your family and how special Sandy always has been to me. I always looked forward to our talks and conversations regarding our children and families. The last time we really sat down and talked was when I was in the middle of a divorce and we went to dinner with Kerrie. Even though she was having her own trials, she was more interested in how I was...

Kurt and Family, I have never met any of you but am amazed at the kindness you showed to us at such a difficult time. I received a call from you just two days before your sweet wife passed away as you were trying to help my new son in law's missionary companion who had flown in from Sweden to surprise him for his wedding. When I first talked to you, I thought that you knew this young man and that he had made arrangements with you to surprise us prior to his leaving Sweden and had no idea...

I was so sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. I had the privilege of working with Sandy (and Breanna) for many years. She was hardworking, uncomplaining, and always cheerful despite her health struggles. Her strength of character in the face of adversity was a lesson to us all, and I am grateful to have known her. My sincere condolences to the Nelson family.

Patti and I have fond memories of our time in the singles ward where we met you and Sandy. It has been many years since we last met but we want you to know how much we appreciated your kindness and friendship. We remember when you and Sandy helped out at our wedding reception and staffed the guest register. Thank you for all that you and Sandy added to our lives. We are so sorry for your loss but we know that God will sustain you through this trying time. What a blessing it is to know...

Sandy was the sweetest, most uncomplaining person I ever knew. So often I would go talk to her to find out how she was doing and would end up answering all her questions about ME! I will sorely miss her, but expect she will be coming to meet me when I get promoted. You Nelson family members, let us know if there is anything we can do to make the next few months any easier for you.

Nelson Family,
I am saddened that I was out of town and missed Sandy's funeral. But I had the opportunity to visit Sandy one more time and tell her how much I loved her before she left the suffering and sorrow of this life. I will treasure those few sacred moments with her. She taught me more than I ever had the chance to teach her as her visiting teacher. You as a family have been an example of dignity, faith, and graciousness. Thank you. My life has been changed because of your...

This is too every one who was lucky enough to have Sandy Nelson touch our lives. Im am so sorry for all, of our loss. This sweet carring soul was a wonderful teacher to us all. To look in to her beautiful eyes, all you could see was sincerity, love, passion and comasion. I know that Sandy was a one of a kind, no dought. Sandy has touched our hearts and souls. That is something that will be there forever to cherish. So to the Nelson family. Thank you for sharing your mother with all of us....
