I worked with Sandra for many years in Odessa. I counted her among my friends, one of those people who seldom had a bad day. Always funny and a real asset to SWBT.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I only knew Sandra for a short time. We were part of her family that she only found in the last 2 years. I met her and spent a wonderful evening and day with her. We visited all the places of her great great grandfather and she enjoyed every minute of it. I will miss her and her e-mails. She was such a beautiful person. You have my sympathy at your loss.
I am from Alabama, the place where her great great grandfather lived until his death. She meet a lot of family on her visit.
