Annette and Gina and all of San's family,
I'd like to express my deepest condolences to you on the passing of your beautiful mother. I haven't seen her in years but from way back on Dudley Hill as children, she was that lady who was greatly admired and loved. She was a gentle soul, always so caring. Our childhood memories are forever etched and have helped to strengthen and shape the adults that we have become. I remember fondly how close she was with your Aunts Olney and Blanche and just the overall way in which she was a part of the fabric of that hill who were the village that surrounded each of us. This is many years ago but those are precious memories of your nanny "Pearl" and the way that your mom was so special to her.
Wow! time certainly has flown by and we are now the adults.
I wish you peace that passes all understanding at this sad time.
Always and on behalf of the Saltus family, Joy, Victoria and Melville- (my brother was very close with San's husband Red DeSilva).

Annette & Gina please accept my deepest sympathy. Your Mom will be a big miss. I loved our small chats when passing each other either coming or going to and from our homes. Such a friendly soul and always asking about my son and family. Prayers for you and your family at this time. From Kinneeka & Kinneeko Beek, June & Kingsley Beek, Lillian Beek Joell and family

To Annette and family,
My condolences on the lost of your Mom. I never forgot her, from high school days, she was and stayed the sweetest ,kind and very caring senior high school student that took a loving responsibility of looking out for us as new students in high school. She never forgot me even year later she would become my neighbor as young ladies, she still had that motherly loving spirit. You where given a very special lady to be your mom , she was bath with something very special from our God at an early age that never left her as an adult, the love bond so many lack today. Sandra always greeted me with the same smile she had in high school, I always looked up to her. I had the privilege of meeting her first born, she like her mom had the same loving smile.
God has called our love His loving servant Sandra to rest with him now, so live on in peace for one day we shall see her again .
Sleep in peace beautiful Sandra, you served well.
Love and Blessings
Cecily J.N. Bell Smith

Sending heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Sandra Ismay DeSilva, a loving and virtuous woman who played and functioned quietly in multiple roles. All who knew her could speak of her kindness, her love and her determination to live a peaceable and independent lifestyle. I truly miss her earthly presence and our daily chats but we are assured that her work down here was and ever will be well rewarded. She left us with strength that we didn't realize we had within us to carry on. She was a trooper. I look for her in the clouds knowing soon and very soon there will be a great getting up morning. "Until then, my heart will go on singing, until then with joy I'll carry on,until the day my eyes behold the city, until the day God calls me home" Rest in Peace, my Sister. You will ever be loved and appreciated.

To Sandra's entire Family:

Another Angel has gained her wings. She will be a great miss to this World but she has entered into her promised Everlasting Life without the suffering of this Life. So very painful and difficult for us.

"We loved her and she loved us!" That love will remain and if we allow God's Love will heal us in time!
"If we Only Believe!"

I do believe that she would want "the Joy of the Lord at this time to be our strength" to guide us each through this very difficult time.

May the beautiful memories and the love and joy of knowing her remain with you and comfort you as the days pass until we who believe are reunite.

Sending our heartfelt condolences, Love & Prayers
