For 15 years Sandie and I have been friend's, we met on thrifty fun online. My one regret is that we never got to meet In person, As I'm based in the UK. She was the most valuable addition to my family's life. My daughters gained the best nana Sandie they could have ever wished for. I'm forever grateful for her friendship. I know one day we will meet again. I will never forget the things you to taught me, everywhere I look in my house there's little things you had sent me over the years. I'm proud to have known you and to call you my family

I met Sandie many , many years ago on a craft site on the computer...we clicked right away and trusted each other for our addresses and we exchanged many crafts and many birthday and Christmas gifts...I was always having my tea when writing her and she always would say we were having tea together'. I will miss my dear friend...I love you Sandie.

Sandie and I have been friends for close to 20 years. We met through an ad in a magazine. My daughters and I had the great pleasure to drive up and visit in person. She has been a great blessing to me and my family for many years. Always there to listen and on occasion give some good advise. I will miss her dearly but my hope is I will one day see her in heaven. She was a Christian who showed her love to so many others. I am very thankful to know her.

Sandie had been another Nana in my life. An adopted grandmother that knew me better than most of my family. Her loss weighs heavy on my heart, but I'm also glad. She is no longer suffering. She is is no longer in pain. And no more bodily restrictions! She is once again running around on 2 legs with Jesus. I will be looking forward to the day when I can join her. Rest in peace, Nana. Your legacy and knowledge lives on in those you shared your light with.
