Sandy was a great gal! I lost touch with Sandy after High School, but thought of her often. Always wondering what she was up to and remembering her fun free spirit. I remember when we were in elem. school and on the last day of school we were playing kick ball with our class and Sandy broke her ankle and she was in a cast for half the summer. 6th grade would not have been the same without her! She will be one great person I will never forget. I will cherish the memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Hugs sent your way...God Bless.

Sandy,
I still can't believe you are gone. I remember the first time that I met you. I was like thirteen or fourteen years old when my brother Dale brought you to our house. You were so pretty with your bandana so neatly in your blonde curly hair and Dale's black leather jacket with fringes down the arms. Wow, you were so pretty and I so wanted my hair to be just like yours, I asked you if one day you could fix my hair like yours and you said "Yes, go get your curling iron", I was so happy. That is just one great memory that I have of you. I will greatly miss you. I know that you are not in pain anymore and I know you will be watching over Amanda, Colin and your unborn granddaughter. May god bless you and keep you in his arms eternally.
Love,
Gina

John, Margaret and family:
I'm so sorry to hear about your great loss. I didn't know Sandy but from what I've read of the memorials she was a wonderful mother and will be sorely missed by her family and friends. May God bless you all with the wonderful memories you shared together. Life was definitely too brief for Sandy. May we all take a lesson and make the most of each day God gives us to share with our family and friends. God Bless you all.

God only takes the best souls early.I will miss seeing you and talking with you girl!You could always make me laugh and were a great story teller.I am blessed and lucky to have called you a friend.Thank you for your support and always having my back when most people didnt.You were definitely a one of a kind,wonderful,special lady who wasn't told this enough and should of been.I will miss our funny conversations and your kind words and wisdom the most.Your children were lucky to have such a great mom who loved them more than anything in this world(Sandy told me this often.She would talk about them all the time).God Sandy,I often ask God why he takes such great,special people who are nothing but kind from us too soon,but as they say,"God don't take junk".I only knew you for a few short years,but you have made a big,memorable impression in my life and will miss and think of you often.Love you girl!!Hold a spot up there for me!!

Sandy- A few months ago you told me - "I could not have ask for a better step mom for Manda." That meant a lot to me to hear you say that to me. I want you to know that I will watch over Manda & your granddaughter give them all the love & support they need.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Its never easy to say goodbye to someone, especially when they are taken way too soon! Life is a journey, some shorter than others.. but hopefully you make the most of each day, dont waste precious moments with hate, LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE.... Find a few friends and never take them for granted, cause in the blink of an eye, they could be gone! Live for today, love like its your last.. Tomorrow isn't promised! Sandy, I only knew you for a short while..but in those moments alone, it showed what a caring person you truly were, and I am blessed to have meant you.These days, that quality is hard to find these days! R.I.P Sandy{taken too soon}

Oh Sandy, we loved you so much! You will be SO missed! One of the sweetest, most loving women we have ever encountered. You would do anything to help anyone ( or any animal!) before thinking of yourself. We will truly miss your smile and your laugh, may God hold you in his arms. We loved and enjoyed all the time we were able to spend with you these past few months. We promise that we will make sure Amanda and Colin are always taken care of if they ever need ANYTHING, so you will never have to worry. We love you always, Billy and Jo
