So shocked to realize your mother had passed. We had just reconnected after not seeing each other since 1970 - what a blessing FB is. We went to church with her at Myrtle Grove. We certainly wish God's peace to comfort you all. And we rejoice for her! Love to all.

I was heartbroken to hear of Sandra passing. I first met her at Camp Bluebird and she made me smile with her joy for life. Prayers for the family and I will always remember Sandra with warm, loving memories... and a huge smile.

Breina, you possess spiritual characteristics, just as your mom has many...thinking of others, resiliency, faith, confidence, humor and so much love. Thank you. I pray for you as you move through the waters, which will not overtake you. [Isaiah 43]

I'm so sad for your loss. I still have the recipe cards your mother gave me for my wedding and use them often. My Vivian named after your grandmother is growing like a weed. Your mother was wonderful to me and will be missed.
