Bro. Emory,
I just heard of Sandy going home to be with our Heveanly Father. I am so sorry for your loss. We were in the same SS Class. I enjoyed her teaching when Caroel was absent. I loved being with her and others putting Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets together for those who needed one. We had a fun time and talked about Jesus. She will truly be missed. My love and prayers are with you, your family and friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Aunt Sandy was a loving, caring lady. I remember when I was little, being the only girl amongst all the boys and Aunt Sandy would always run interference for me. I have so many wonderful memories of her. May her memory be a blessing. She'll be greatly missed. Rondi

Sandy was a wonderful sister-in-law. We shared so many family get togethers. She was the best cook, taking after her Alabama grandmother. She loved her family and always had a story to tell about the good times.

I first saw Sandy in the Andrew Robinson Elementary school office which she seemed to run with such calm, grace and efficiency. Later I worked with her in the Title I office of the Duval County School Board, and my entire crew was delighted to work with her. Thank you Sandy for being our friend and for all you did to help many children and their families.
