Not sure what to say?

my wife, my love, my everything. Been 8 yrs now, this Christmas Eve, the hurt is still there but the assurance that she is walking the streets of Glory gives me comfort as she was loved by many from singing with the Temples, Treasurer of Flint Township.
Sandy was adopted at birth by some wonderful foster parents that gave her a nice home. I can see her now, without the prosthetic leg, walking and singing about Jesus and being with many friends and relatives that have gone on...

been 7 years this christmas eve. A wonderful wife and Sandy means "Servant of the people". Miss her every day and love her very much. Even though, I know she has earned her place in heaven...the void is still heavy as I lost the love of my life. I still praise God for her as the township Treasurers office was named after her for 20 yrs of dedicated service to the people....Miss you honey as I am very lonely without you. Love you till e meet again

six long years, I lost the love of my life..not been easy but God has been there for me. Now that Christmas eve is here again, the memory is more pressing as God took her home around 8:00 on Christmas Eve 2016. Incidentally it is the same this year as then. Saturday is Christmas eve and Sunday is Christmas day...I stay at home those days except go to church...This Sunday, the pastor will be making comments about her and what a blessing she was to people. Surviving the last 9 years in a...

The love of my life of 53 years is shining bright in heaven with the love of God..Love you honey..till we meet again

I'm so sorry , Don. I used to love hearing Sandy sing. First heard her at the Sammy Hall concerts and what a voice ! She was a sweet woman and I know this was a better place for her being here. She now has her reward.

Sandy was a wonderful person and very supportive of me and my political activities
in Flint Township. She was always very kind and had a lot of vision about problems in todays world. She never complained about things and always was cheerful. I will never forget her loyal friendship and big smile. She will love her new world in heaven.

Enjoyed Sandra's company at many Clerk/ Treasurers Assoc meetings- Sorry to hear of her passing.

Sorry for your loss, she will be missed !

So very sorry to hear about earths loss, but thankful for Heavens latest choir member!
Sandy was such an inspiring friend of the Master's Trio... We are so thankful God brought her and the Temple Trio into our lives! Roy & Betty Guthrie, Belva Smith
