I heard the sad news of Sandy passing tonight as I was ushering at the peristyle. Sandy touched so many people with her enthusiasm and infectious smile. Sandy was always ready for a new adventure and I am glad I had the honor of knowing her. My deepest condolences and prayer for comfort to her family. She loved you deeply and spoke of you often.

I have been thinking about Sandy recently and remembering the lovely trip we took to South American in 2018, the cruise and visit to New Orleans in 2020. Her visit with others here in Florida in early 2021. I was hoping she could move down here and live close by in the winter. I will miss Sandy and remember how smart she was about travel, cards, teaching, life and family. A wonderful woman! A great example to all who were touched by her wisdom and kindness. Thank you God for sending her to us on earth! Your friend, Sue

It´s hard to say goodbye to my childhood friend. We have been friends since we were 5 years old. Seventy years! We shared all of life´s ups and downs. She was like a sister to me. But these last few months, I have sadly watched her suffer. I know now, that she is at peace and with the Lord. No more pain. I will miss you forever. Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory my friend.
My sincerest condolences to her beautiful family.
