We worked with Sandy at the Free Clinic in Reidsville. She was a very caring person. And she will be truly missed, but never forgotten. There are times when words are not enough. Therefore, may God’s timeless promises and never-ending love surround all of you. We will be praying for your comfort and God’s blessings to strengthen all of you during this time.
We will continue to lift you all up in our prayers,
Margaret Wells & Laetitia Wells

Sandy was my friend, my confidante and a giant in a broken body among mankind. I will have many fond memories of Sandy even though I only knew her for the past several years. Always outspoken and would not take "no" for an answer, she made you think and made you want to be a better person. I know that I am a better person from having her touch my life. I am so glad that she is free of her pain and suffering but I will miss my kind and gentle cat loving friend.

Gabe and Josh,
I am Eric, Ian and Matt Wood's mom, Annette Wood. I knew you and your parents when you were very young and I thought the world of your mom. I have often wondered how all of you were doing and I am so sorry about your mom. I still live in the same place and I wish you would come by and see us when you are in Browns Summit.

Sandra Drury was a dear friend and she had a profound impact on the person I am today. It was my honor and pleasure to have known and loved her for the time I was blessed with.
She raised two strong minded sons that she was always extremely proud of and there was nothing on the planet that she cared for more then her two children.
It could be said that Sandra Drury seemed to face insurmountable challenges and always she faced willingly with courage and determination. From the outside looking in, one might look at her and think they see a weak person. But those who knew her and read this will know that she was anything but weak and she never failed to impress those around her. I can not claim to have ever won a debate with her and we had many of those. She was brilliant, she loved life and nature and she will be missed. She was a person of her word and she never broke a promise to me.
The world is a better place because of Sandra Drury and the lives that she touched. I will find comfort in knowing that she will suffer and struggle no longer. She will be missed but never forgotten.
