My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through these difficult days. Hazel was a very sweet lady and I enjoyed knowing her. We met many years ago at TRBC. When they came to Heritage, I enjoyed chatting with her each Sunday and missed her when they changed churches. She will be missed.
Love and Prayers

Mr. Sandrof and the Entire Sandrof Family,
Mickey and I were saddened to hear that Mrs. Sandrof had passed away. She was a very dear and sweet lady. She loved her children and grandchildren dearly. Whether you knew her one day or 50 years, you knew that she loved the Lord and was the happiest when doing His service. The children that she has taught and the lifes she has touched will forever be blessed by her memory.
Mr. Sandrof, your devotion and love for your wife is a testimony that is to be admired. You guys were such a special couple. Mickey and I will be praying for you as you face the days ahead.
Please know that you and your entire family is in our prayers. We do rejoice with you in the fact that we know that your separation from this dear lady is only temporary. We all look forward to the day when we will be in Heaven together with our loved ones again.
Lesley and Gena, if there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I am only a phone call away.
With our love and prayers.
Mickey, Roxanne and Forrest Higgins
