I met Sandy after I started teaching at Kecoughtan and we became friends. That was easy to do as Sandy always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye and she loved life. After we both retired we did not see each other often but that did not matter as we would reconnect and catch up on things. She always loved her family and we would talk about what hers and mine were doing. I was saddened after learning of her passing but she put up a fight and we now have another angel in Heaven smiling down at us.

Sherrie, my heart goes out to you and your family. Your Mom was a very cool lady with a super personality. Always smiling and happy every time I saw her. I also had the pleasure of meeting her Mother on occasion at the Lottery office. Your Grandmother was also happy and upbeat like her daughter Sandra. Your Dad is going to need a little extra from you for a while. Love will reign supreme and your Mother will exist in your heart and in the heart's of the family... Till you meet again... God Bless.

My life started with you and I’m not sure where it goes from here. You have always been here to guide me and my rock. I know you are much better now and I will do my best to be the person you raised me to be. Love you momma!

The “Garrett Girls” of Dona, Robin and Buffy, send sincere condolences to Sandy’s family. When I (Buffy) saw Sandy at her mom’s funeral, I didn’t know Sandy had been ill. I am so sorry I can’t make any of the services. I just found out today and I am scheduled to work both days with no chance of getting coverage. And Dona and Rob both live in Florida. Please know that our absence doesn’t mean we care any less. Much love to the family. I know Sandy will be very missed by so many.

I was so sad to hear the loss of such a beautiful woman that blessed so many here on earth. Her smile was contagious and my dear friend Sherrie shares that same smile. I am proud to have meet Sandra through my friendship with her daughter Sherrie and I pray the family will find comfort in knowing she watches over them from Heaven
